Are you feeling discouraged by high home prices and wondering if owning a home is even possible? There’s still a way to achieve homeownership, even when affordability feels like a major challenge: consider a fixer-upper. Let’s explore how this option can help you take the first step into homeownership and what it takes to make it work. What Is a Fixer-Upper? A fixer-upper is a home that’s move-in ready but needs varying levels of updates or repairs. Some may require simple cosmetic changes, like fresh paint or new flooring, while others might need more significant improvements, such as roof replacements or plumbing upgrades. Since these homes often require some level of effort to enhance, they’re typically priced lower than comparable move-in-ready homes. In fact, a study by StorageCafe reveals that fixer-uppers are generally priced about 29% below market value. This affordability is one reason why more buyers are considering fixer-uppers as a viable option (see graph).
