House that needs repairs sold as is for cash

Your Options

Can You Sell a House That Needs Major Repairs?

Yes. You can sell a house in any condition. The challenge with a traditional sale is that financed buyers often cannot get a loan on a home with major issues, and their lender's appraisal or inspection can kill the deal late in the process.

A cash buyer removes that problem. We buy regardless of condition and do not rely on a lender's sign-off, so a house that scares off retail buyers is a normal purchase for us.

The Process

How to Sell a House As Is in 3 Steps

No estimates, no contractors, no staging. Just three steps.

  • Tell us what is wrong with the house. Be as honest as you want.
  • Get a same-day cash offer with the repairs already priced in.
  • Close on your date and leave the repairs, and anything else, to us.

Cash Offer

We Buy Houses That Need Repairs for Cash

HomeWise buys houses with foundation problems, roof and structural damage, fire or water damage, mold, outdated systems, and code violations. We factor the cost of the work into the offer instead of asking you to do it.

You do not pull permits, hire contractors, or front any money. We take the project on after we close.

The Comparison

Selling As Is vs Fixing the House First

Repairing before you sell can lift the price, but it costs money up front, takes time, and the market does not always pay back every dollar. Meanwhile you carry the home and its costs through the project.

Selling as is trades a lower price for zero repair spend, zero holding time, and a fast close. For a house that needs significant work, the as-is cash net is often competitive with a repaired listing once you subtract the costs and risk.

What to Know

What Counts as a Repair Problem for Buyers

The repairs that most often block a traditional sale are the ones a mortgage lender cares about: structural and foundation issues, a failing roof, major electrical or plumbing defects, and anything that makes the home unsafe or uninhabitable. These can prevent a buyer from getting financing at all.

For a cash purchase, none of that disqualifies the house. We assess condition to price the offer, not to decide whether to buy. You still disclose known defects as your state requires, and we buy it anyway.

How This Works in Your State

The legal timeline is different in every state. See the state-specific rules:

Common Questions About Selling a House: Needs Repairs

Honest answers about selling in this situation, what to expect, and how fast you can close.

Is the house too damaged to sell?

No. We buy houses in any condition, including ones that cannot get traditional financing. Condition affects the price, not whether we buy.

Do I have to make any repairs?

None. We price the repairs into the offer and handle them after closing. You do not spend a dollar on the house.

Do I still have to disclose problems?

Yes, most states require you to disclose known material defects even in an as-is sale. We buy the house regardless of what the disclosures show.

How is the offer calculated on a damaged house?

We start from the repaired value based on nearby sales, then subtract the cost of the work and our holding costs. We walk you through the math.
