Compare repairing property damage before sale against offering a credit, lowering price, or leaving the issue for negotiation. The cleaner path depends on cost, timing, financing, disclosure questions, open claim status, and agent confidence.

Damage sale decision table
| Situation | Usually cleaner path |
|---|---|
| Active damage | Stop source before listing. |
| Repaired with receipts | Organize proof and disclose as required. |
| Repair is small and fast | Repair may reduce buyer friction. |
| Repair is large and uncertain | Credit or price adjustment may be cleaner. |
| Open insurance claim | Coordinate before signing contract. |
| Buyer lender may care | Repair may be safer than credit. |
