Thinking about making some repairs before selling your home in Kansas City?
Most people focus on the upgrades that will boost their home’s value and attract buyers. But what about the repairs that might not be worth the time, money, and stress?
Some fixes are so expensive that they barely make a dent in your bottom line—or worse, they drain your savings without guaranteeing a higher sale price.
In many cases, selling your home as-is to a local home buyer (like us!) is the better, faster, and less stressful option.
Here are some of the most costly repairs to watch out for…
1. Foundation Issues
A sinking or settling foundation is a big deal—and it’s not a cheap fix. Repairing a foundation can easily run $10,000 or more, depending on the severity. And unfortunately, the longer you wait, the worse (and more expensive) it gets.
2. Roof Replacement
Need a new roof? That’s another costly project. Depending on the size of your home and materials used, a roof replacement can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $40,000. That’s a lot of money to spend without a guaranteed return on investment.
3. Water Damage
Water damage isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a ticking time bomb for your home’s structure. If left unaddressed, it can lead to mold, rot, and even more costly repairs. The average repair bill? Around $3,000, but it can climb much higher depending on the extent of the damage.
4. Other Costly Repairs
Some other big-ticket items that can drain your wallet include:
- Mold Remediation – A hidden health hazard that can cost thousands to remove.
- HVAC Replacement – New heating and cooling systems range from $5,000 to $10,000.
- Electrical Rewiring – If your home needs a full electrical overhaul, expect to pay $8,000 or more.
- Termite Damage – These tiny pests can cause massive destruction, leading to repair bills in the thousands.
