This oftentimes will have to do with unique circumstances that don&#8217;t really lend themselves to renovating a property for sale. Like a property that was inherited through an estate or probate,\u201d Megel says.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/selling-a-house-as-is\/\">selling a house \u201cas is\u201d<\/a> usually means accepting a lower offer, and it doesn\u2019t always prevent buyers from trying to negotiate savings.
