After the recent winter storms that ravaged Texas, a lot of home owners are dealing with busted water pipes, leaking roofs, and host of other repairs. As a result of the record storm a lot of Texans are faced with costly repairs and don't have the funds or insurance coverage to deal with them. One solution that home owners with costly repairs pursue is selling their house as is, and moving on to something that's in good condition and more comfortable.
You might be thinking this sounds great, but who is going to buy a house that needs new pipes, a new roof, and new siding? Good question. Generally there are two types of buyers that will buy a house that needs major repairs: people with low income and financial constraints, and people or companies that "flip" homes. The easiest and fastest way to sell your home that needs repairs is working with a company that specializes in buying homes in disrepair. These companies have created an entire business model based off buying, repairing, and reselling houses in poor condition. It's a great way for you to sell your house fast with no hassle, and after a lot of work iteventually pays off for the company that buys it from you. A win win.
Major house repairs quickly run into the thousands and tensof thousands of dollars. Here's a break down of what some of the costliest house repairs can run. If you're facing any of these, selling your house for cash as is can be a great option. It's especially good if you don't have the time or money to deal with them, and are ready to start fresh.
Depending on the degree of the damage, roof repairs can cost anywhere from $5,000 on the low end, and $25,000 on the high end. If you have a small leak and it's isolated to one area, the repair might not cost too much. If your shingles are falling off and you have rot, the costs can quickly sky rocket.
A lot of Texans had significant water pipe damage from the record low temperatures from the recent storm. A number of factors determine how much damaged pipes cost to repair. If it's one pipe, and it can be easily accessed, then it may cost several hundred dollars to $1,000. If it's behind a wall the cost can quickly escalate because the dry wall needs to be removed to access the pipe. If you have water damage, rotted wood, or mold the cost quickly gets into thousands of dollars.
The national average cost for siding repairs ranges from several hundred to $16,000 plus. Siding is your home's first line of defense against the elements. Hail, wind, rain, and the sun put constant stress on your home's siding. Depending on which kind of material your siding consists of, you may be dealing with minor repairs, sectional repairs, or a complete siding replacement.
