In much of Essex County, an older home on a decent lot has two kinds of buyers: a family that wants to live in it, and a builder who wants the lot. They value the same property in completely different ways, and a seller who only hears from one of them is missing information.
The family buyer
Pays for the house as it is: the kitchen, the bedrooms, the condition. Wants showings, an inspection, and usually a mortgage contingency.
The builder
Pays for the lot, the street and the zoning. Buys as-is, no repairs, no showings, often no financing contingency, and can close around your timeline.
What that means for you
Before you list, find out what each would pay. We provide both numbers, free. If the builder number wins, you sell simply. If the listing number wins, you list knowing exactly where your floor is. Either way you are not guessing.
