Hi jesus, Find out who the best (the one that lists and sells the most similar properties near yours) local realtor is and tell them you are thinking about selling and they will provide you with a free market analysis or CMA (comparative market analysis) that will include recent comparable sales and an estimated time to sell or DOM (days on market).Tell them you want an as is valuation and an after repaired valuation and what repairs would add the most selling value.Then get estimates on those repairs, and see which way you come out best.Good luck.
