When is the Perfect Time to Sell Your House for Cash?

While there's no definitive "best" time to sell a house, certain situations make selling your home for cash an ideal solution. With Mike Buys Houses, we work with homeowners in a variety of circumstances that lead them to pursue a fast, hassle-free cash sale. Here are just a few examples of when selling to us for cash could be perfectly timed:

You Need to Relocate Quickly. Whether you landed a great job opportunity across the state or need to move closer to aging relatives, some situations require relocating on short notice. Trying to sell through a realtor often means weeks or months of uncertainty. A cash sale allows you to close quickly and move to your new location seamlessly.

You're Going Through a Major Life Event. From divorce to inheritance to bankruptcy, major life changes can make holding onto your current home inconvenient or overly burdensome. Selling to a cash buyer allows you to efficiently get that property off your hands and walk away with a fair lump sum to help your transition.

You Don't Want to Spend on Repairs/Updates. Maybe your house needs a new roof, kitchen updates, or major systems repaired or replaced. All of those pre-listing projects eat away at your future profits. With a cash sale, you can skip the costly repairs and updates and sell the property as-is for a fair price.

You're Worried About Foreclosure. If you've fallen behind on mortgage payments, selling to a cash buyer allows you to avoid foreclosure and get out from under that debt. Walking away with cash in-hand gives you a fresh start without the long-term credit damage of foreclosure.

You Want to Sell an Inherited Property Fast. Dealing with processing an inherited property can be complex and stressful during an already difficult time. Rather than carrying the holding costs for months or making repairs, a cash sale is a simple solution for selling that property quickly.

Your House Has Tenants You Want Out. From problem renters to wanted to transition an investment to cash, trying to sell an occupied rental through traditional means is very difficult. But a cash buyer will still purchase that tenanted property as-is.

In all of these situations - and many more - selling for cash provides the timeliness and simplicity that a realtor listing often cannot. If any of these reasonings resonate with your motivation for selling, Mike Buys Houses and our cash buyer process may be perfectly timed for your needs. We're ready to make you a fair offer and close the sale quickly according to your schedule. Contact us today to get started!
