Did not complete permit for remodel

Several years ago, I was optimistic and had plans to remodel my house. I got a permit from the city. Then some unexpected expenses came up and I never started the remodel. Now, I am planning to sell my house. Will my undone changes torpedo the sale of my house?

This is in San Jose.

Yes. Finish the job

Unfinished remodeling can impact the sale of your house, as it may create a negative perception and affect the property’s value. You need to get professional assessments, provide cost estimates for completion, and consider adjusting the listing price to attract potential buyers.
