Hey there, home hunters and real estate enthusiasts!

You know that dream of buying a charming fixer-upper, rolling up your sleeves, and turning it into a masterpiece? Yeah, well… according to recent data, most buyers are giving that dream a hard pass. These days, folks want a home they can walk into, plop down on the couch, and start binge-watching their favorite show—no sledgehammer required.

So, What’s the Deal?

A recent Zillow study found that homebuyers are willing to pay nearly 4% more for a move-in ready home rather than take on a project. And honestly, who can blame them? The idea of saving money with a fixer-upper sounds great—until you’re knee-deep in drywall dust and realizing your weekend DIY project just turned into a six-month construction zone.

Let’s face it—renovations are expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. Between rising material costs, unreliable contractors, and HGTV giving people unrealistic expectations, most buyers just want a home that’s good to go from day one.

Why Move-In Ready Homes Are Winning

Here’s why turnkey homes are flying off the market:

✅ Predictable Costs – No surprise renovation expenses popping up like unwelcome guests.
✅ No Waiting – Move in, unpack, and start living instead of waiting months for contractors to show up.
✅ Easier Financing – Lenders prefer homes that don’t need major work.
✅ Less Stress – No sleepless nights wondering if your “quick kitchen remodel” will be finished before the next election cycle.
