Now is a great time to sell your house!

Demand is still incredibly high, with low inventory and a housing shortage across the country. Even with a rise in interest rates, property is still selling at record speed in most areas in many states.

The houses that aren’t selling? Well, they’re the usual ones…

Even with the high demand, most buyers are not looking for major projects. Buyers are looking for turnkey homes to get on with their daily lives, without breaking the bank or disrupting their plans. Life is too short, and most people don’t want to invest in property that needs work.

You know the kind.

Majorly outdated.
Big repairs needed.
Deferred maintenance (deferred for far too long…).
Old mechanical systems.
Leaking roof.
Foundation concerns.
Siding, gutters, exterior paint.
Vacant houses.

Many buyers won’t touch these with a ten-foot pole. But, guess what? We will! Not only that, we are actively looking for these types of properties. We will look at them all. And we’ll get you a fair cash offer within about 24 hours.

If the above describes your property, you’re not stuck. Call us today at 317-526-5700 so we can come take a look at your house (or houses) and make you an offer. What have you got to lose?

Did you inherit a property?

Inheriting a home is both a blessing and a huge obligation -- it requires a lot of work.

It will be necessary to create a short-term plan for maintaining the home while the estate settles. This can take six months or more.

During this time, it’s also important to talk with the other heirs to determine what everyone wants to do with the home once it's out of probate. Will someone live in it? Will you rent it out? Or will it be sold?

And don't forget to check on the insurance, the mortgage, property taxes, and outstanding debt that will cut into the home's equity.

It's a lot to manage.

That being said, if you want to offload the property for a fair price as painlessly as possible, give us a call at 317-526-5700.

We can make you a fair cash offer in as little as 48 hours -- after asking some basic questions and running comps on the property.

If you accept our offer, we'll send you the contract for you to sign.

But here's the best part...

Since we're paying cash, we can close in as little as two weeks... AND we'll even buy the home as-is. So there's no need to clean it up, make repairs, or try and fix the "curb appeal".

We'll even pay all closing costs.

There are absolutely no hidden fees. Give us a call at 317-526-5700, talk with one of our reps, and get your no-obligation cash offer today!

Thinking of selling your house to a professional homebuyer?

There are a lot of benefits!

Getting a fair cash price, selling as-is, and the process is a whole lot faster than working with an agent and selling on the MLS.

But that's not all.

Here are some benefits to working with a cash buyer that maybe you didn't know about...

We'll Evict Tenants -- If you're selling a property that is occupied by tenants, it can be tough to try and work around their schedule to get showings. And if they're not taking care of the place, it can make it even harder to sell. But when you sell to a professional homebuyer, we'll handle the eviction process for you.

No Haggling Over Repairs -- One of the biggest benefits of selling to a cash buyer is not having to worry about making any repairs before you sell. We'll buy the house as-is, no matter what condition it's in.

You Pick The Closing Date -- When you sell to a cash buyer, you get to pick the closing date. If it’s important to move quickly, we can make that happen. And if you need more time, we're flexible too.

We Pay All Closing Costs -- When selling a house to a cash buyer, they will pay all of the closing costs. So you don't have to worry about coming up with any extra money at closing.

We've Seen Worse -- We've seen a lot of houses in our time, and we're not afraid of a little work (or even a lot!). That means whether your house is in great condition or it needs more significant repairs, we're still interested in buying it from you.

Want to find out how much we'll pay you in cash for your house? Give us a call at 317-526-5700 to find out!

Thinking of doing owner financing to sell your home?

Well, that's not a bad idea if you do it right and you know what you're getting into.

But you DO need to know what you're getting into.

Here are some pros and cons for sellers in owner-financing deals:

PROS...

Sell Faster: Sellers who offer owner financing can often sell their home more quickly than those who don't.

Sell As-Is: Sellers won't have to make as many repairs or renovations as would normally be expected when trying to meet a lender's expectations.

Retain Title: If the buyer defaults on the payments, the seller keeps all of the payments and the title to the house.

Good Investment: You may find that owner financing is a good investment opportunity.

CONS...

More Upfront Work: There will be more work upfront for you as the seller, such as drawing up paperwork and meeting with potential buyers.

Potential Default: If the buyer defaults on their payments, it will be up to you to evict them and take back the property. This can be a long and costly process.

The Need to be Organized: You'll need to keep track of payments, interest rates, and other important details.

Repair Costs: If the buyer defaults, you may incur costs for repairs that are necessary to get the property back into sellable condition.

Dodd-Frank Act: The Dodd-Frank Act (2010) protects consumers in owner-financed deals by requiring sellers to provide disclosures and follow certain rules.

Hope that helps!

If you want to skip the potential headaches and sell your house as-is for a fair cash price, give us a call at 317-526-5700. We can close in as little as two weeks and we'll even pay all closing costs!

Thinking of selling your house to a family member?

There are a few things you need to take into consideration before making this decision. Selling your home to a family member can be a great way to keep the property in the family, but it’s not always the best financial (or relational) decision.

Here are a few things to think about before selling your house to a family member:

1. What is the market value of your home?

Be sure to research the market value of the home before selling. You might consider selling the property for a big discount to a family member, but it's still important to know what you stand to make or lose by going this route.

2. Are you sure the family member can afford it?

Be realistic about a family member’s ability to purchase the home. If they can’t afford the property, selling to them may not be the best option -- and it might end up wasting a lot of time. Be sure they can get pre-approved for a loan.

3. What are the emotional implications?

Selling your home to a family member can be an emotional decision. Be sure you are comfortable with the idea of this arrangement before proceeding. If there are any nagging doubts, it may be best to sell to someone else.

Hope that helps!

If you want to know what you could get for your property by selling fast for cash, give us a call at 317-526-5700. We can buy your house as-is, and you pick the closing date.

Does your house have code violations?

It is often unexpected and frustrating when you receive notice that your property has a code violation and that, if it's not fixed, you're going to receive a fine.

We know what this is like.

At Christopher Ellyn Homes we've bought a lot of properties in Indianapolis with code violations and had to deal with fixing those problems.

So... what are your options?

There are a few different things that can be done if your property has code violations.

The first thing that you can do is try to fix the violation yourself. This may be something as simple as trimming some trees or bushes, painting over graffiti, or fixing a hole in a fence. If the violation is something that is easily fixed, this is probably going to be the cheapest option.

The second option is to hire a company to fix the violation for you. This is going to cost you more money than DIY, but it will save you the time and headache of dealing with it, and ensure the repairs are completed to code.

The third option is to do nothing and hope that the violation goes away on its own. This is a BAD choice. Because it's not going to go away. Oddly enough, it’s still one that many people choose!

The fourth option is to sell the property. This may be the best option if you don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing the code violation, you can't afford to fix it, or the violations are extensive.

In fact, we can buy your property as-is (code violations and all) for a fair cash price and close in as little as two weeks. We'll even pay all closing costs. Give us a call at 317-526-5700 to get your no-obligation cash offer!

Trying to off-load multiple properties in Indianapolis?

Coordinating that -- and selling the properties as fast as you'd like -- can be a real pain.

You could sell each property through a real estate agent. But then you're at the mercy of the housing market. And you're not going to get as much money going that route if the properties need repairs (it could also take quite a while to sell them all).

If you want to move fast, the best option might be to go with a cash buyer.

In fact, at Christopher Ellyn Homes, we're ready to buy your properties now. We're a group of experienced investors, and we have the resources to buy multiple properties quickly (we even have a team that can handle any necessary repairs).

What's more, we'll give you a fair price for your properties, but them as-is, and you can pick the closing date.

Here are the benefits to you as the seller.

Get a fair price for your property -- We will give you a fair price for the property based on its current condition.

Sell your property as-is -- No need to make any repairs before selling.

Close on the date of your choice -- Pick the closing date that works for you.

So if you're looking for a hassle-free way to unload your properties, give us a call today at 317-526-5700. We'll make you an offer within 24 hours.

06/16/2022

At Christopher Ellyn Homes, we talk a lot about how we can buy your home "as is"...

But what exactly do we mean by that?

Here's what we mean:

We will buy your home in its CURRENT CONDITION:

- Whether it needs repairs, is outdated, or even if it's in perfect condition, we will make you an offer. And we don't expect you to fix anything at all.

We will buy your home FAST:

- Closing is on the seller’s timeline, so there’s no worrying about finding a buyer and waiting for the loan to go through. You pick the closing date. We make it happen.

We will buy your home with CASH:

- This means no loan approvals, contingencies, or bank delays. We can close on your timeline so there’s no worry about the sale falling through.

We will pay all CLOSING COSTS:

- There’s also no need to worry about any hidden fees or expenses. Closing is covered.

If this sounds like something you're interested in, we would love to chat with you and learn more about your situation.

Give us a call at 317-526-5700, answer some simple questions, and get your fair no-obligation cash offer within 48 hours!

We look forward to talking to you.

Did the purchase of your home fall through?

Nothing is quite as frustrating.

And there are a lot of different things that might cause that to happen.

The home might not appraise for the purchase price, there could be issues with the title, or the buyer could back out of the sale.

What are you going to do?

Well, you're not all out of options.

If you aren't in a hurry to sell, simply waiting for another buyer is an option. Talk to your real estate agent and see what can be done to ensure this doesn't happen again.

(Also, don't forget to fight for that earnest money if the buyer backed out)

If you are in a hurry, however, then give us a call at 317-526-5700. We'll ask you some simple questions, and we will make you a fair no-obligation cash offer within 48 hours. And if you accept, we can close in as little as two weeks (you pick the closing date).

Plus, we're local and have been operating in Indianapolis for quite some time.

That means our reputation stands upon the service we provide to homeowners in our community -- and we're happy to stake our reputation on that.

So... want to get your fair cash offer?

Give us a call and tell us a bit about yourself!

Thinking of selling your house but worried it won't pass the inspection?

When selling the traditional way, on the MLS, passing the home inspection is very important.

It's one of the many contingencies that are typically included in a real estate purchase contract.

If problems are found during the inspection, the buyer can then choose to back out of the contract or renegotiate with you, the seller.

Obviously, it's in your interest to try and make sure your home passes the inspection on the first go-around. Here are some tips...

1. Check the structure of the home from the foundation to the roof and everything in between.

If there are any cracks or damage, have it all repaired before putting your house on the market.

2. Inspect the plumbing and electrical systems. If there is any outdated wiring or plumbing, it will need to be replaced or updated.

3. The condition of your windows and doors are important, as well. If any of them are in disrepair, they will need to be fixed.

4. Make sure the HVAC system is in good working order. This is a big one that can make or break a home inspection.

5. Last but not least, do a deep clean of your entire house. This includes the inside and outside.

The cleaner the house is, the more likely it is to pass inspection.

Or if all of this sounds like too much work, you can skip the hubbub and sell to a professional cash buyer like us at Christopher Ellyn Homes -- we can make you a fair cash offer within 48 hours and close in as little as two weeks.

Selling a house is stressful 😬

Packing, cleaning, repairing, moving, staging, showing, negotiating, inspecting...

Those are just SOME of the verbs associated with selling a property.

It's a lot of work.

And you might not know exactly what to expect.

So we thought we'd help. Here are some of the highest stress points of selling a home. If you know when they're coming, you can prepare yourself...

Cleaning -- The home needs to be clean and presentable for potential buyers. This means decluttering, deep cleaning, and perhaps even making some cosmetic repairs. It might be necessary to hire a professional cleaning service to help get your home show-ready.

Repairing -- Potential buyers will want to see a home that is in good condition. That means fixing any obvious damage, such as cracks in the walls or a leaky roof. It might also include the need to make less visible repairs, such as replacing outdated appliances or repairing plumbing or electrical issues.

Inspecting -- Before selling a home, It’s a good idea to have a professional inspection done. This will identify any major problems with the property that could give buyers pause. Be prepared to negotiate with buyers based on the results of the inspection, or quickly make repairs that might hold-up the ability to sell.

Waiting -- Once you've put your home on the market, you'll need to be patient and wait for the right buyer to come along. This can be a nerve-wracking process, especially if you're in a hurry.

Negotiating -- Once there’s an interested buyer, it's time to negotiate the sale. This can be a tricky process, as you'll need to come to an agreement on price, repairs, inspections, and more. Be sure to consult with a real estate agent to get the best deal possible.

That's a lot, huh?

Want to skip it?

Give us a call at 317-526-5700. We can make you a fair cash offer within 48 hours, close in as little as two weeks, buy your home as-is, and we'll even pay all the closing costs!

Is it a good time to sell your house?

At Christopher Ellyn Homes, if there's one thing we've learned from buying houses in Indianapolis, it's that there are TONS of factors to consider when buying or selling a home.

It's only natural that sellers want to sell at the best possible time (to get the most bang for that buck).

So here are some factors to consider...

Demand -- Is there more demand for houses in the area or less? If there are more people looking to buy than there are homes on the market, that's generally a good sign that prices will be going up.

Seasonality -- Is it spring or summer? In most markets, these are the busiest times of year for buying and selling homes. Families with children often want to move when school is out so they don't have to deal with the hassle of moving during the school year.

The Economy -- How's the economy in your city or town? If there are a lot of people being laid off or if there are new businesses moving into the area, that can impact the housing market big time.

All of these factors (and more) can affect the housing market in your area and, ultimately, impact whether or not now is a good time to sell your house.

Want to sell regardless of market conditions? Then give us a call at 317-526-5700. We can make you a fair cash offer, close in as little as two weeks, and we'll even pay all closing costs!
