What it means

Repairs are not just cosmetic choices. They may affect buyer pool, inspection risk, days on market, credit requests, and the seller’s final net.

Why sellers miss it

Price is visible. Net is private, conditional, and full of assumptions. That is why the bottom-line conversation usually needs its own lane.

What can change it

Seller question

Which repairs are likely to protect net, and which are just spending money?

Quiet next step

This is the kind of question a private seller-net conversation is designed to organize.
