Q: How much do you lose selling a house as-is?

• <div><p>In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that&rsquo;s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it&rsquo;s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn&rsquo;t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you&rsquo;d spend coordinating the repairs.</p></div>

Q: Does adding central air increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-units-central-air.htm">adding central air</a> can increase your home value by as much as 10%. Generally speaking, prospective buyers prefer a central AC system over a ductless system or room-by-room AC units. That&rsquo;s because central air conditioning blends into the home easier than individual room air conditioners and typically has less equipment to maintain.</p></div>

Q: How long does the appraisal process usually take?
