    Behind the numbers

    How it works

    01

    Your numbers

    For each item you enter a rough cost and what it might add to the sale price. Nothing is filled in for you, because costs and value vary by home and area.

    02

    Your call

    Fix it, skip it, or price it in. “Price it in” means you leave it and expect the price or a credit to reflect about what it costs to fix.

    03

    The math

    Net from fixes = what the “fix it” items may add minus what they cost. Items you have not decided on get a nudge: if it may add more than it costs, it is worth a closer look.

    Questions

    Good to know

    What if I do not know what a fix adds?+

    Leave it blank and ask Morgan. She can look at recent sales of homes like yours, with and without the update.

    Do I have to disclose things I do not fix?+

    Disclosure rules vary by state. Ask Morgan and, if needed, a real estate attorney what you must disclose.

    Keep planning
