While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home.

Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.
