Are you considering selling your home as-is in Arizona? Whether you\u2019ve got a fixer-upper or recently inherited a relative\u2019s home, sometimes the goal is to skip repairs, get a fair offer, and move on.<\/p>\n

Why sell your home as-is? According to John Billings<\/a>, a top-selling agent in Pima County, Arizona, with 21 years of experience, one of the most common reasons is that owners don\u2019t want to (or can\u2019t) deal with making extensive repairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe property needs work. The owners don’t want to do anything with it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Billings has over 915 transactions in his market, with an average price point of $329,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the property is popular and they know that it’s going to have multiple offers, they know that they can use the as-is [tag] to select the best offer,\u201d he adds.
\nHowever, selling a house as-is usually means accepting a lower offer, and it doesn\u2019t always prevent buyers from trying to negotiate savings. Let\u2019s look closer at how to sell a house in Arizona, your options for getting an offer, and what to expect from the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is \u2018as is\u2019 condition in real estate?<\/h2>\n

As-is is a type of home sale where it\u2019s understood that no improvements will be made<\/a> to the property. When selling a house as-is, the seller is choosing not to entertain buyer requests to complete repairs or provide a credit for fixes.<\/p>\n

An as-is sale may also indicate that the functionality and longevity of certain home components, such as a stove on its last legs or an older roof, is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n

When selling a house as-is, the general condition of the property should already be accounted for in the home’s purchase price to the best of the seller\u2019s knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the house needs a lot of work and the seller wants to obtain the best price, I usually tell them it’s not the best idea to try to sell it as-is because it’ll make it harder to sell,\u201d Billings says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it’s a requirement because the house is in disrepair, then we usually make it part of the marketing that the house needs work and to fix up; it’s just different by each scenario,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Which types of homes are sold \u2018as is\u2019?<\/h2>\n

Homes sold as-is often need work or may be cosmetically outdated. It\u2019s not a label you\u2019ll likely put on a listing in pristine, move-in-ready<\/a> condition.<\/p>\n

As-is sales often attract investors searching for their next flip or buyers seeking a bargain, perhaps on a home in a great location with lots of potential.<\/p>\n
