move-in ready
No renovations needed
Move-in ready describes a property that requires no repairs or renovations before a new occupant can live there comfortably.
The term is real estate jargon emphasizing that a home is in good condition with functional systems and clean finishes: We wanted something move-in ready, not a fixer-upper.
The standard is subjective—what counts as ready varies by buyer expectations and market norms.
