Property that needs improvements to sell, suggestions? Portland, ME

[Ben S]

Hello guys,

A friend of mine is trying to sell their family's home located in Portland, ME, but currently facing some issues with staging and selling the property. It's currently listed on the MLS for $129,000, and the seller is motivated.

It appears the property's outside condition is okay, minus having to tow a few of the junk cars that are in the yard and some lawn maintenance. The seller is debating whether or not it is a good idea to spend more money in the home to improve it's marketability to sell, or to try lowering the price?

I'm unfamiliar with the market myself, however just shooting this out there for some suggestions and advise. I hope some people local to the ME market can chime in!

The address:  27 Cherry St., Portland, ME 04102

Thanks again BP!
