What Does It Mean to Sell a House As-Is in NYC?
Selling as-is means the buyer takes the house in its current condition and you do not fix anything first. In a traditional sale, a buyer’s inspection often leads to repair requests or a lower price. With a cash sale to CashBuyersNY, the offer already accounts for the condition, so there is no re-trading after an inspection.
Selling as-is does not remove your legal obligations, for example around disclosures, so talk to your attorney about what applies to your sale. We buy houses with open code violations, unpermitted work, tenants and damage. For where we buy, see our New York City cash buyer page.

What Kinds of As-Is Houses Do We Buy?
We buy houses that retail buyers and their lenders often will not touch: fire- or water-damaged homes, houses with mold, outdated or failing plumbing, wiring and boilers, roof and foundation problems, hoarded or heavily cluttered homes, and properties with expired permits or unfinished renovations.
If the house is empty, see our page on selling a vacant home. If it came to you through an estate, see selling an inherited house. You do not have to decide what is fixable; we price the repairs into our offer.
Not Sure What Your As-Is House Is Worth?
Why Repairing Before Selling Often Does Not Pay
Repairs cost money up front, take time, and may not raise the sale price by as much as they cost. Contractors in New York City can be slow and expensive, and permits add more time. Meanwhile you keep paying taxes, insurance and utilities on a house you want to be rid of.
Selling as-is turns an open-ended project into a single decision with a known number. Our guide to the benefits of accepting a cash offer walks through the trade-offs.
Why NYC Homeowners Choose Us for As-Is Sales
Selling as-is to an investor is fast, but not every buyer is the same. We give a written offer, explain how we arrived at the number, and do not change the price at the closing table because of things we already knew about.
If your house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing with an agent may bring a higher price, and we will say so. If you want certainty, speed and no repair bills, a cash sale is worth comparing. See cash buyers vs. iBuyers to compare your options.

What NYC Homeowners Say About Working With Us
Cash Sale vs. Listing Your NYC House
| Traditional listing | CashBuyersNY | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission | Commonly 5–6% of the sale price | None. No agent is involved and we charge no fees |
| Repairs and cleaning | You typically repair, clean and stage before listing | Sold as-is, in any condition |
| Mortgage and appraisal risk | Deal can fall apart if the buyer's loan or appraisal fails | No mortgage or appraisal contingency |
| Showings | Open houses and repeated showings | One walkthrough, at a time that suits you |
| Timeline | Time on the market, then often 30–60 days or more to close | Offer in 24 hours; close in as little as 7 days when title is clear |
| Sale price | Potentially the highest price, if the home is market-ready | Typically below full retail value, in exchange for speed, certainty and no costs of sale |
| Costs set by law | Transfer taxes and your attorney still apply | Transfer taxes and your attorney still apply |
Neither route is right for every homeowner. If your home is in good condition and you are not in a hurry, listing with an agent may bring a higher price. If speed, certainty or the cost of repairs matter more, a direct cash sale can make sense. Talk to your attorney before you sign anything.
How We Calculate a Cash Offer
We want you to understand the number before you decide. For as-is houses, our offers reflect four things: the property’s condition and the repairs it needs, recent comparable sales nearby, taxes and carrying costs such as insurance and utilities, and how long the house would take to resell. We explain each in plain language, with no pressure to accept.
- Condition and repair costs
- Comparable sales nearby
- Taxes, insurance and carrying costs
- Resale timeline and risk

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a House As-Is in NYC
Can I sell my house as-is in NYC?
Yes. You can sell a New York City house as-is to a cash buyer like CashBuyersNY without making repairs or cleaning out. You still have legal and disclosure obligations as a seller, so confirm the details with your attorney.
What condition can my house be in?
Almost any. We buy houses with fire or water damage, mold, failing systems, roof or foundation problems, open violations, unpermitted work and heavy clutter.
Will you lower your offer after an inspection?
Our offer is based on the condition we see and what you tell us. We do not use an inspection to re-trade the price for issues we already knew about. If something major and unexpected turns up, we will talk it through with you.
Do I have to clean out the house?
No. You can leave belongings you do not want and we will handle them after closing, subject to what we agree in the contract.
How fast can I close?
Closing can happen in as little as 7 days when title is clear, or on a later date that suits you. Estates, liens and tenants can add time.
Do I pay commissions or fees?
No agent is involved, so there is no commission, and we do not charge fees for our offer. Normal seller closing costs, such as transfer taxes and attorney fees, still apply.
Will I get less than listing the house?
A cash offer is usually below the best-case retail price because you are trading price for speed, certainty and no repairs. If your house is in great shape and you can wait, listing may net more.
Can I sell an as-is house with tenants?
Yes. We can buy tenant-occupied houses with tenants in place. Read our guide to selling a house with tenants.
