Much doubt in that statement. Define 'sellable', is taking the price from 900,000 to 1.1 million making a house sellable? I guess you don't want to leave 270,000 dollars on the table but if they're at the point where they can't walk up stairs ik going to hazard a guess that those amounts will result in the same quality of life for them

Sellable as in the cost/price increase negate each other but you’re actually going to find a buyer within a reasonable timeframe

Some things to consider

Asbestos/mold will get you passed on unless you’re selling to a flipper

You as a buyer are going to want a home that doesn’t have the above so you’re going to want the money that a home without it provides

Boomers are so financially illiterate that their retirement plans were that their house would pay for the last 20 years of their lives
