What to know before you sell

Upper Fells Point draws hospital staff, young professionals, and investors, so both renovated and unrenovated homes find buyers. The question is usually how much work is worth doing first. A side-by-side of a cash offer and a listing estimate answers that for your house.

Before you sign anything

Cash offer or market sale? See both numbers first.

We buy houses for cash, and we list houses on the MLS. Some sellers should take a quick cash sale. Others would net thousands more on the market. The only way to know is to put the two numbers side by side.

How cash buyers price a house

Most investors, including us, start from a common rule of thumb: about 70% of what the home will be worth after repairs, minus the repair cost. That margin covers the risk they take on: repairs, holding costs, financing and resale costs. It’s a fair way to buy a house. It just means a cash offer usually trades some price for speed and certainty.

Example: a home worth $300,000 after repairs, needing $40,000 of work

Cash sale, as-is

$300,000 × 70% − $40,000 = $170,000 offer
Minus about 1% seller costs

≈ $168,000 net

Often closes in 2 to 3 weeks. No repairs, showings or contingencies.

Listed as-is on the MLS

Sells for $240,000 to a retail buyer or rehabber
Minus about 7% commission and closing costs

≈ $223,000 net

Usually takes 30 to 60 days more, with showings and a buyer’s financing.

Illustrative numbers only. Your result depends on your home’s condition, location and the market. Sometimes the cash number wins once repairs, holding costs and time are counted.

Myth: Skipping the agent fee always puts more money in your pocket.
Reality: Sometimes it does. Often the gap between a cash price and a market price is bigger than the fee. Many sellers only learn that after closing.

A quick cash sale often makes sense when

• The house needs major repairs or won’t qualify for a buyer’s loan
• You face a foreclosure, tax sale or probate deadline
• There are tenants, code violations or a long list of problems
• Speed, privacy and certainty matter more than top dollar

Listing on the market often wins when

• The house is livable, even if dated
• You can wait a few extra weeks to a couple of months
• Retail buyers are active in your neighborhood
• Getting the most money is the priority
