Jacksonville, Florida, is a rapidly growing city.
There is a steady influx of people moving to the area.
This has resulted in a great deal of new construction and expanding neighborhoods. The house market continues to evolve and fluctuate. At times, homes sell for the asking price and only remain on the market for a matter of days. There are also those times when no one seems to be buying. Homes that remain on the market for any length of time become a problem. Potential buyers wonder if there is something wrong with the house. It often becomes necessary to lower the asking price. Plus, while the house is on the market, it still requires maintenance. There are taxes to pay and jobs to do. Things can go wrong. There can be storm damage, pest infestation, roof leaks, vandalism, theft and all sorts of concerns. Marketing a home includes multiple steps that can result in significant stress, such as professional photos, online listings, signage and real estate agents. Sellers are usually responsible for keeping the home in pristine condition for open houses and showings. Inspections need to be arranged. A home inspection verifies the safety, reliability and working order of vital systems such as the roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Any problem with those components becomes the concern of the homeowner. Repairs can quickly become expensive. A lower than expected appraisal can undermine the certainty of a bank mortgage. By selling to a Jacksonville cash home buyer, the seller avoids the burden of time-consuming and often costly marketing efforts, updates and repairs. There’s no need for listing photos or repetitive cleaning. There is no expectation to vacate the premises for tours by possible buyers. A cash sale lessens the invasions of privacy and disruption. The stage of a cash sale can be predicted and planned for. They happen quickly and without interrupting everyday life.
