Selling a House That Needs Work? Here’s the Easiest Way

Does your Michigan home need major repairs, updates, or renovations before you can list it on the market? You’re not alone. Many homeowners find themselves with a fixer upper they can’t afford to repair or simply don’t want to deal with.

At M1 Home Buyers, we buy houses as-is for cash, no matter the condition. Whether your property has outdated features, structural issues, or needs a full rehab, we’ll make you a fair cash offer so you can move on quickly and stress-free.

What Is Considered A Fixer Upper House?

A fixer upper is any property that requires significant repairs or updates before it can be sold at market value. Common examples include:

• Outdated kitchens or bathrooms
• Old roof or HVAC needing replacement
• Foundation or structural problems
• Plumbing or electrical issues
• Mold, water, or fire damage
• Unfinished renovations

Many buyers prefer move-in ready homes, making it difficult to sell a fixer upper on the traditional market without expensive upgrades.

Common Challenges Selling A Fixer Upper Traditionally

High Repair Costs

Major repairs can cost $10,000-$100,000+, often exceeding your budget, especially if you inherited the property or need to relocate quickly.

Limited Buyer Pool

Most traditional buyers want move-in ready homes. Lenders often won’t finance fixer uppers due to condition issues, making cash buyers the best option.

Failed Inspections

Buyers may walk away after inspections reveal major problems, leading to wasted time and restarting the selling process.

Long Time On Market

Fixer uppers can sit on the market for months with multiple price drops, increasing holding costs like taxes, insurance, and utilities.
