Just like an artist sees a blank canvas as a world of opportunity, homeowners often view their property as full of potential. Every project—big or small—can transform your home and increase its value. But what happens when those renovations are left unfinished? Or when life forces you to sell before the work is done?
If you’re trying to sell a home in Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, or anywhere in the Fox Cities, and you’ve got half-finished upgrades or remodeling projects hanging over your head, don’t worry—you still have options.
Common Renovations That Go Unfinished
More homeowners are investing in home improvements than ever before. But not all of them reach the finish line. Some of the most common incomplete upgrades we see across Wisconsin include:
-
Kitchen Remodels: New cabinets, half-installed appliances, or torn-up floors are common in unfinished kitchen projects.
-
Bathroom Upgrades: Upgraded fixtures without the tile, or demoed walls that never got replaced.
-
Fresh Paint Jobs: A partially painted home can hurt your home’s appeal—but many sellers run out of time or energy.
-
Basement Remodels: In-progress basements are common. Whether you started building a home office or entertainment area, it might not be complete.
-
HVAC or Electrical Work: Outdated systems or half-completed installs can raise buyer red flags.
-
Deck Construction: A dream outdoor space often becomes a pile of lumber when plans stall.
The Problem with Incomplete Renovations
When selling a home with unfinished work, it can lead to:
-
Lower Offers: Buyers see your property as a “project,” not move-in ready.
-
More Negotiations: You may have to give credits, reduce price, or agree to fix things yourself before closing.
-
Time on Market: Homes that need work usually sit longer.
-
Financing Issues: Lenders may hesitate to approve loans for buyers if a home isn’t fully finished or up to code.
