Does building scaffolding hurt my sale price?

Scaffolding signals ongoing facade work and can deter buyers who associate it with assessments, construction disruption, or deferred maintenance. The actual price impact depends on whether the work is already funded, how long scaffolding will remain, and whether assessments have been levied. Provide buyers with the FISP report, timeline, and cost breakdown - transparency reduces the discount buyers will demand.
