Volsch, an Estate Property Advisor and Probate & Trust Real Estate Specialist with The Volsch Team at Volsch Enterprises Inc., said the broader market numbers are one factor families may consider when deciding how to handle an inherited property.
“More buyers and more closed sales do not automatically mean an inherited home should be repaired before it is sold,” Volsch said in a written statement. “The decision should start with what the estate needs to accomplish, then weigh the property’s condition, repair costs, carrying time, taxes, insurance and the likely sale outcome. Sometimes improving the property makes sense. Sometimes selling as-is produces the better overall result.”
