Should You Offer a Credit for Repairs or Fix Them Before Selling?

Should You Offer a Credit for Repairs or Fix Them Before Selling?

  • 11/12/25

Every seller faces it: repair now or offer a credit later? I’m Dennis Loewen with North and Main Homes, and here’s how to decide.

 

Fix Visible or Safety Issues

Broken steps, leaks, or missing detectors should always be repaired — buyers notice immediately.

 

Offer Credits for Personal Choices

If it’s purely cosmetic (like carpet color or countertop style), a credit lets buyers choose.

 

Balance Cost and Perception

Repairs boost value beyond their expense; credits protect your cash flow. The right mix depends on condition and timeline.
