Around here, back in '05, you could sell any house in any condition for
at least 15% over list price. Things have changed.

Sorta depends on the location. In desirable locations that only have
older homes people accept a lot. Older homes tend to have foundation
issues. They may or may not be a big deal.

If you sell you're probably going to end up paying for the
inspection. Go ahead now and get an inspector and have it inspected.
Tell him you're including his final report in the sales package. Tell
him you want to work with him to clear up anything he thinks might be
an issue. You might have to pay a little extra to get him to come
back and check the repairs. But then you'll know up front what the
inspection results are.
