fixer-upper

A fixer-upper is a house that needs a lot of repair work. Because they need maintenance, fixer-upper homes usually sell for less than a home that’s in better repair or a new home. People often buy a fixer-upper when they enjoy do it yourself projects and want to buy the home as an investment. Once a fixer-upper has been fixed it can sometimes sell for a higher value than the home buyer bought it for.
