You're looking to sell your house, and we buy houses for cash. Simple, right? Not so much. You have plenty of choices with cash buyers for your home. There are even other compassionate, caring house buyers to choose from when people are looking for fast cash and to close quickly. We Buy Houses Puget Sound want to protect our investment, and so are the sellers that come to us looking for a cash house-buyer. Our goal is a high-value offer for homes that simplifies the life of those who choose to do business with us.
The home seller's journey looks like you, a seller of your property, your real estate investment that may be a home, an estate that you received from a loved one, a business location that you may need to offload for financial reasons, or perhaps you find yourself in any number of other circumstances that need you to free up financial resources. We get it and have been there, too!
Currently, we are in a seller's market in the Puget Sound region. However, that does not mean that the market is conducive to a fair value for your home at retail prices. If you know a realtor you trust and that really knows their business and your house, you perhaps would not be looking at selling to a cash buyer. Feel free to share your experience if this has not been the case for you. We'd love to know how our sellers pursue their course of action on the distribution of their property.
Homes are very personal places in our lives. Memories and events happened in our homes that defined our life journey at specific points. Everyone's home is part of a story and those homes will build new stories for new families. At We Buy Houses Puget Sound, we are expanding your home's story to include those new families. Those new families prefer a fresh start in their homes. When we place offers, we need to consider the costs of refreshing or rehabilitating a home for new occupants, people that may want to create new markings on the walls for each year their child grows or through other memorable moments.
What does that mean to you, the seller? You could certainly refresh or rehab your home on your own, or perhaps if circumstances are right, you could work with us to do so. We can explore those options together if that is your preference and within your means and timing.
At We Buy Houses Puget Sound, we endeavor to retain neighborhood charm where the market supports doing so, while bringing homes up to current standards and safety for new home owners through rehab efforts, which could be extensive or minor.
So, what's your home worth, and how do you determine that on your own? This is a good question, and even the experts, such as us, will simply be taking an educated guesstimate. The market is determined by many factors, such as what real estate is selling in your neighborhood that is similar or nearby properties and the price those homes sold for recently. This information becomes the after repair or rehab value (ARV). Then we factor in labor and material costs for home repairs and the expected time frame to complete those repairs, or the time and projected costs of an extensive rehab. This is a simplified version of the value of a home that needs some or a lot of fixing-up: ARV minus rehab costs plus holding, closing, and resell costs = estimated as-is value for your home.
Expected time frame is a big deal. If your home requires repairs that take six months or longer, that creates a very big guess on what the market will be like in six months to a year. We remember 2008 and the aftermath of that time period very well! If you are a seller that sits on your home price for six months, you could very well lose considerably more money than if you sell to a cash buyer today. This is equally true for those of us buying homes with cash. Simply put, homes requiring that much repair or rehab time are likely to yield a lower price to adjust for unforeseen circumstances.
You are under no obligation to sell to us or anyone else that you do not want to. A consultation with 'We Buy Houses Puget Sound' will cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time. You deserve to receive a fair cash offer for your home. You do not have to accept it if you feel it is too high (we know, but it's happened!) or too low (not happened).
