Maybe it was a rental between tenants. Maybe it was a parent’s house, or a place you moved out of and never sold. If you’re stuck with a vacant house you don’t want, you can sell it as-is for cash and close in as little as 7 days.
An empty house costs money every month: taxes, insurance, utilities, and the steady worry about what’s happening there while nobody’s home.
Why is a vacant house so hard to deal with?
Because it keeps asking for attention even when nobody lives there:
- Bills that keep coming for a house no one uses
- Problems that grow when no one’s around to catch them, like a slow leak or a burst pipe
- Letters from the city about the yard or a code issue
- Trips to check on it, especially if you live far away
Can you sell a vacant house in any condition?
Yes. We buy as-is, whether it’s been sitting for a few weeks or a few years. Water damage, mold, a roof that’s given up, open code violations. We handle the remediation after closing, and the city’s letters become our problem, not yours.
If it needs serious work, read selling a house that needs major repairs.
Back taxes or liens on it? It happens, especially when a house has been sitting a while and the bills got away from you. Those are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing, so you don’t need to clear them first. Our guide on selling a house with a lien explains how.
How fast can you sell it?
You’ll get a written cash offer within 24 hours. One of us walks the property, usually for about twenty minutes. Then you pick the closing date, as soon as 7 days once the title is clear.
If you don’t live nearby, you don’t need to come back. You can sign remotely.
Should you list it instead?
If the house is in good shape and you can keep carrying it while it sells, listing may net you more. We’ll tell you if we think that’s the case.
A cash sale makes more sense when the house needs work, you’re tired of paying for it, or you just want it off your plate.
