<prompt> Human: Our Realtor wants me to do 5000 worth of work to my house before I put it on the market.She says the listing price of the house would be 10,000 less if I do not do the updates.Im not sure that I am willing to pay a guaranteed 5000 to make 5000. Background: we are still in a sellers market and houses in the area are still appreciating quite well.  <response>: It really depends. What is the work she wants you to have done?
