Looking to sell a house \u201cas-is\u201d in Maryland? Whether you\u2019ve got a <\/span>fixer-upper<\/span><\/a> or recently <\/span>inherited a relative\u2019s home<\/span><\/a>, sometimes the goal is to <\/span>skip repairs<\/span><\/a>, get a fair offer, and move on.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some misconceptions about what \u201cas-is\u201d means, says <\/span>top-rated Maryland real estate agent<\/span><\/a> Juan Umanzor<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI get a lot of sellers who say,<\/span> \u2018Juan, we\u2019re going to make some updates to this home, but we don\u2019t want to do anything else.\u2019 <\/span><\/i>They want to sell as-is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He acknowledges that while sellers who might not have the resources can choose not to make extra repairs, it\u2019s important for them to understand that leaving issues unfixed can come with some downsides. Failing to address repairs could mean fewer attractive offers or a longer wait to close.<\/span><\/p>\n

An as-is sale<\/span> usually means accepting a lower offer, and it doesn\u2019t always prevent buyers from trying to negotiate savings. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how to sell a house as-is in Maryland, how to get an offer, and what to expect from the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast facts about selling a house \u2018as-is\u2019 in Maryland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the median sales price in Maryland?<\/b><\/td>\n$455,000<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What\u2019s the average days on market in Maryland?<\/b><\/td>\n14 days<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Is property disclosure mandatory?<\/b><\/td>\nMaryland law requires sellers to disclose material facts about the property through the <\/span>Maryland Residential Property Disclosure and Disclaimer Statement.<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Does the MLS have a field to mark a listing as-is?<\/b><\/td>\nYes, according to Umanzor, there is an as-is addendum for agents to complete.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Is a real estate attorney required?<\/b><\/td>\nReal estate attorneys are <\/span>not considered essential<\/span><\/a> for closing in Maryland.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
How much are the real estate transfer taxes?<\/b><\/td>\n0.25%<\/span><\/a> if the buyer is a first timer and 0.5% for most buyers<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n

What does as-is condition mean in real estate?<\/h2>\n

An as-is home sale means the property is sold without any improvements or repairs. The seller chooses not to accommodate <\/span>buyers’ requests for repairs<\/span><\/a> or offer <\/span>credits<\/span><\/a> for any needed fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Selling a home as-is lets buyers know that certain features may not be in perfect working condition, such as an older roof or a stove on its last legs.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this type of transaction, the general condition of the property should already be accounted for in the purchase price of the home to the best of the seller\u2019s knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
