List with an Agent or Sell to a Cash Buyer in Oklahoma

Investor purchases continue to grow and so do the options available to sellers. Let’s compare.

When to list a house in Oklahoma with an agent & when not to

You are okay with having your Oklahoma home listed on the market for 2-5 months

You are good with paying taxes, insurance, lawn care, HOA fees, utilities, etc for this time period

Your house is in great condition

You are okay with going through buyer’s inspections and appraisals and dealing with lenders

You have the money and time to address any potential repairs the buyer may request

You don’t mind multiple people coming through your home for showings and photos (clean, clean, clean)

There is room to pay all of the commissions and fees

^{There you have it! If you answered yes to the majority of points above then you most likely are a better candidate for listing your home in Oklahoma vs selling to a cash buyer near you.}

It may seem obvious to you when listing may not be the best option, but we will share some reasons why selling to an investor may be the best fit

When a home needs repairs, finding a “good listing price” becomes a challenge. Since 87% of Oklahoma home buyers will get a loan to purchase, most of them will not be able to buy a home that needs repairs. The remaining buyers who are able to purchase a home with cash are aware that they will be taking on the cost and responsibility for the repairs and are usually not interested unless they can purchase well under market value.

What if your house is not new and needs some updates or repairs? Are there other factors that were not covered above?

Maybe selling to a cash buyer in Oklahoma is a good option for you. Here are some things to consider.

You owe tax taxes or you are not able to make the mortgage payment

There are repairs, cleaning, or things that you do not want to deal with

You do not have the time or energy to deal with the listing process

You prefer not to deal with paying commissions and fees

You need more flexible purchase arrangements from the buyer

You just want to be done, simple and easy

HOT TIP: Listing a distressed home with an agent will still drive investor offers from companies like ours, plus you’ll then be responsible for paying commissions, closing costs, and dealing with the hassles.

The average Oklahoma home buyer is not willing to put up with the inconvenience of remodels or repairs.

Most Oklahoma home buyers will be securing a loan in order to purchase. This will limit the buyer’s ability to purchase a home needing repairs. Most other typical home buyers are not willing to take on the responsibility or risk. With shows like “Fixer Upper”, you can see that buying at the right price to allow for repairs and staying within a budget is crucial. This is not always easy even for the professionals who do this every day.

Comparing a Fixer Upper to Move in Ready Home in Oklahoma

Which of the two following houses would you prefer to buy for your family?

A house worth $250K that is turn-key, nothing to be done, move-in ready, everything set up

Or,

A house sold at $200K and will be worth $250,000 after repairs.  It needs 50K in repairs to bring it to the exact same condition as a $250K house that is move-in ready.

Of course, not many would pick the $200k house. Why would you? Who wants to deal with the risk of anything going wrong, finding trustworthy contractors, waiting for the work to be completed, etc.

So as you can see, the hassle and stress have an effect on the sales price. There is a penalty that is associated with the value of the house. Suddenly repairs are not just estimated by the cost of material, and cost of labor. Risk, time, holding cost, uncertainties, and one’s trouble tackling it all, have a monetary value.

If it is a “seller’s market” does this mean that it is the best time to sell? Yes, it is a good time to sell. A seller’s market takes place when the demand exceeds the supply. This does not mean that your home may not still attract investor offers due to the condition or other factors we discussed above.
