Key Insights: What Virginia Homeowners Don’t Know About As-Is Sales
Based on our experience buying hundreds of as-is Virginia properties:
Repair Cost Reality: The average Virginia home needs $15,000-35,000 in repairs before traditional sale, but most homeowners don’t have that cash available upfront—creating an impossible catch-22
Hidden Cost Truth: Pre-sale repairs rarely return 100% of investment—most improvements return only 50-75% of cost, meaning a $20,000 renovation adds just $10,000-15,000 to sale price
Time Investment Burden: Major home repairs take 2-4 months to complete, during which you’re paying mortgage, insurance, utilities, and property taxes while the work is done—often $6,000-12,000 in carrying costs
Contractor Nightmare: Finding reliable contractors in Virginia is challenging—projects run over budget by 20-40% on average, timelines extend 50-100% beyond estimates, and quality issues require expensive re-work
Traditional Buyer Demands: Even after making repairs, traditional buyers often demand additional concessions at inspection, request seller credits, or back out entirely—wasting your time and money invested in improvements
These insights come from our actual as-is purchases across Virginia—not home improvement estimates.
