A reno to make the house sellable would cost that as well

Much doubt in that statement. Define 'sellable', is taking the price from 900,000 to 1.1 million making a house sellable? I guess you don't want to leave 270,000 dollars on the table but if they're at the point where they can't walk up stairs ik going to hazard a guess that those amounts will result in the same quality of life for them

Sellable as in the cost/price increase negate each other but you’re actually going to find a buyer within a reasonable timeframe
