If there is something you cannot afford to do and yet you anticipate that it will be an issue for a buyer, the best course of action is to get bids for the work so that you have hard data on your side about the cost of the work and the amount of the credit. Still, you will be better off doing the work, because it can affect how the buyer "experiences" the house and whether they feel at home there. You make a good point.

I think this all depends on the homeowners financial situation. Of course in a perfect world where you're financially stable you can afford to make the improvements and necessary repairs and upgrades prior to showing the home. What might be considered: is do your homework on the items you foresee to be a problem (Re-roofing) for example and have a list for the potential buyer of different quotes from different roofers. Based on this you can offer them a credit. The idea here is you have proof on what the credit is actually worth. Anticipating offers and having a counter offer already figured out will be advantageous to you. On your comment about to “offer credits”.
