Can I sell my home in MA if it has Foundation Problems?

Justin Dion:

Your house possibly has foundation problems and you want to sell it but you don’t know how to go about it. Well today I will give you a few pointers of how to do so and at the end tell you about how you can get an offer on your home today in the condition it is in!

The first step for you is to hire a foundation specialist or a structural engineer to determine the extent of the damages and the possible cost to be repaired. This will give you an idea of if you want to fix it yourself before selling it or if you want someone else to deal with the headache of it.

I’ve seen foundation repairs cost a few thousand dollars to make the house completely worthless and have to be torn down so this cost could be very high on occasions. 

Know you may be wondering if you didn’t fix the foundation could you still sell it, the answer is absolutely just make sure you disclose it to your buyer!

Remember that more than likely, foundation problems will affect the sale price. A buyer will want to purchase the home for less money if they have to repair something right away, and you may want to sell it for more if you’ve had to fix the problem on your own dime.

Or, the repairs could be worked into the sale in some aspect. In any case, the foundation issue will need to be addressed.

You could go ahead and list your home on the market with a realtor or sell it to a private buyer such as homepoint! Homepoint will actually make you offer very quickly and to get started all you have to do is go to selltohomepoint.com to get a free consultation to see how much they’d be willing to offer you!
