How Do We Buy Houses For Cash?
When we offer cash for your house we’re looking at a few different factors. The “After Repair Value” (potential value), the repair costs, selling costs, and of course our minimum profit.
The potential value of a property once all repairs and upgrades have been done to get it up to current standards. (think HGTV)
The costs for all the repairs & updates that will be needed after we buy the house from you.
The costs that goes into selling a property which includes, holding costs, and realtor commissions.
There’s no surprise that we are in the business of buying houses & do need to make a profit so we can continue to stay in business.
Your Offer = [After Repair Value]-[Repair Costs]-[Selling Costs]-[Our Minimum Profit]
We Buy Houses Based On Your Home’s “After Repair Value!”
As you can see our offers follow a streamlined formula that is based on real numbers and data. In order for you to have a better understanding of this formula, here is how the terms are defined: buy houses, buy houses, buy houses, real estate, real estate, want to sell, want to sell, real estate agent
After Repair Value (ARV):
This is what the market value of your house could be AFTER we buy and renovate the house. We arrive at this value by analyzing similar properties that have recently sold in the area. These are called comparables or “comps” for short. When we are analyzing comps we are comparing apples to apples. That means we look at similar properties that have sold within the last 3-6 months in the same neighborhood or in close proximity. (The more recent the sell and closer the proximity, the better) We also compare square footage, year built, number of beds & baths, and a few other factors to get a more accurate value range.
Repair Cost (RC):
This estimate includes fixing and upgrading everything that is broken or outdated. When we buy houses we want to be competitive on the open market to meet homebuyer expectations as well as ensure that the houses we fix up will appraise for the value we calculated for. This consists of updating the style (new countertops, flooring, paint) as well as updating or repairing any major ticket items such as the roof, foundation, plumbing, etc.
Selling Costs:
When selling a property there are several costs and fees that need to be considered. Those consist of real estate commissions, closing costs, and holding costs. These are all the fees you do NOT have to pay if you sell your home to us. This is usually about 10% of the final sales price. (Our selling costs = 10% x ARV)
Our Profit:
Yes, when we buy houses, we do intend to make a profit. We have found that by making a profit we are able to pay for all the other operating expenses (marketing, accounting, payroll, etc.) to keep us in business so that we can help even more people. We do our best to balance the amount of profit while also giving you the highest offer we can so that you will accept the offer!
So now that you know how the formula breaks down, let’s put it into action…
Let’s say your house is in “good condition”, everything works, however, it could use some updating throughout and a few of the major components ie (roof, A/C, plumbing) need replacement due to old age.
A lot of the houses we buy usually land somewhere along the spectrum of being outdated to major repairs needed. Which is perfectly okay, we are professional home buyers and we buy houses in any condition, remember?
Now let’s say that houses in the neighborhood that sell for top dollar look more like this:
(new roof, updated kitchen and bathrooms, modern flooring, lighting, stainless steel appliances, and colors)
As you can tell, there is a dramatic difference between the two. Now, if we are to throw some numbers on this example it would go something like this: The updated comparable property sold on the real estate market for $300k. Of course, it took some time (on average up to 6 months) and money to get it to that point. (remember we have to be competitive in the real estate market) Would you as a buyer be interested in buying a house in lesser condition for $300k when a much nicer house sells for the same price? No, of course not!
Now, you’re probably wondering, if a comparable house could sell for $300k after it’s all fixed up, how much could it sell for before the repairs and updates? Good question, I’m glad you asked!
Here is how the tried and true formula comes into action when we buy houses…
ARV (After Repair Value) = $300k
RC (Repair Costs) = $70k
Our Selling Costs = 10% x $300k = $30k
Let’s Say The Minimum Profit For This Purchase = $40k
[Your Offer] = [ARV] – [RC] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]
Your Offer = $300k – $70k – $30k – $40k = $160k
Your Cash Offer = $160k
(as you can see, the difference between what the house can sell for VS what we can offer is NOT all profit.)
“Why Not Just Sell My House On The Market?”
The truth is we tell every seller we work with that selling their house with a real estate agent will be the best way to get top market value.
- If you have the time…
- If you have the funds…
- If you have the know-how…
Then selling your house the traditional way will be your best bet. The majority of home sellers will not find any value in the speed & convenience a cash offer can provide. If we find that a cash offer isn’t the best fit for you, we will be transparent and point you towards an option that is better suited for your circumstances.
If you still think you could benefit from a fast cash offer and selling your house fast then fill out our simple form to see how much we can buy your house for…
