Sell your house for cash · Glendale

Sell my house fast in Glendale.

19.9% of Glendale's housing went up before 1940, and another 9.0% in the forties. If yours is one of them, the age is most of the conversation.

What that means if you are selling one.

19.9% of Glendale's housing went up before 1940, a little more than Long Beach's 19.2% and less than Pasadena's 28.6%. The median of 1966 hides that, because Glendale also built a great deal later, so two very different sales sit on top of each other here: post-war stock a buyer with a loan will take, and pre-war houses that need somebody willing to deal with what is behind the walls.

35.2% of homes are owner-occupied, below Inglewood's 36.2% and well below Burbank's 43.3% next door, and only 32.8% of the housing is detached houses. Glendale sellers are more often dealing with a property held for years, an inherited house or a building with tenants in it than with the home they live in.

A pre-war house that has been rented for a long time is hard to sell on the open market, because the buyer's lender and inspector both find the same things the tenants learned to live with. I buy it as it stands, and the number I give you is for the house you actually have.

Three numbers on your Glendale house, not one.

One · the cash offer
The cash offer on the house as it stands.
Two · renovate and list
What it would bring listed, after work I fund up front.
Three · your situation
What I would advance when the house is not the actual problem.

All three in writing, with the honest advice about which is best for you, even when the answer is none of them and it pays me nothing. How the three paths compare, and what happens between the call and the closing.

Why people in Glendale call me.

I bring you all three numbers in writing.

Questions I get from Glendale.

My Glendale house is pre-war and has knob and tube wiring. Will you still buy it?

Yes. Old wiring, old plumbing and an old panel are things I price in, not things that stop an offer. You do not need to fix any of it first.

I inherited a house in Glendale. Where do I even start?

Start with a phone call and the address. I can give you all three numbers, including what the house is worth in cash and what it would bring listed, and you can take them back to whoever else has a say. If the estate is in probate, I work with whoever the court appointed.

Do you buy in Glendale, or only in the Valley?

Glendale is on my list, along with Burbank and Pasadena on either side of it.

My Glendale house is pre-1940. Does its age lower the offer that much?

Age changes what the work costs, and the work is what I am pricing. It does not put the house outside what I buy.

There is a lien on the Glendale property. Does that stop a sale?

Usually not. Liens are normally paid out of the proceeds at closing rather than out of your pocket beforehand. What matters is knowing what is actually recorded against the title, and that is worth finding out early.
