What to compare before you decide
Does the home still fit daily life?

What is the market value today?
Review comparable sales, condition, updates, buyer demand, and likely objections before choosing a strategy.
Which work is worth doing?
Separate safety, financing, and inspection issues from optional cosmetic updates that may not pay back.
What has to happen before closing?
Plan documents, cleanout, contractors, moving, family coordination, and whether you need a purchase or rent-back strategy.
