How much to get the bathrooms upstairs finished and paint ready and rooms paint ready?

I am not in the business but it would seem to me that in order to move on out the home would have to be close to move-in ready. I can see maybe the rooms needing paint and flooring. But if they are not ready for the end finish then you will really limit your market and limit your ability to sell.


FWIW your home has nice curb apeal. You need to have nice front door apeal.

When we looked at homes we did not mind having to do some fixing up. We looked at alot of homes! You would walk in and see large portions of homes unfinished. The work was ALWAYS substandard and missing braces, nails, screws, etc. If the walls had been covered with sheetrock it would have been harder for us to detect. We ALWAYS estimated what the house would be worth AFTER repairs/fixes and the costs of completing the repairs/fixes. We then looked at the asking prices on the homes. They were almost always near the value of the home AFTER the work was done. Only one home was appropriately priced and we bought it. Still, after three years, completing repairs and updates.


Would you be in a position to provide a cash payment to buyers at closing for cost of paint and flooring? If they negotiate the price down you can take down the cash payment as part of the negotiation. This tactic will turn some people off.
