Selling as-is means you do not plan to make repairs, but buyers can still inspect and may negotiate or cancel under their contract. You also still have to disclose known problems.
It sets expectations about price and condition, and signals that you will not repair. It does not remove your duty to disclose known defects, and it does not stop buyers from inspecting.
Inherited properties, homes needing major repairs, sellers who need speed, or investors may choose as-is. Pricing needs to reflect condition.
Buyers may include investors and renovators who want a discount. Some owners get several offers even in as-is condition, while others find more negotiation.
Ask your agent to compare net proceeds for selling as-is versus making targeted repairs first, and consider time and cost.
