We Buy Houses in New York City, New York in Any Condition
New York City homeowners come to HomeMatch for all sorts of reasons - open DOB or HPD violations; illegal basement or attic conversion; rent-stabilized or long-term tenants. Whatever brought you here, HomeMatch matches you with the local cash buyer who purchases New York City homes as-is - no repairs, no fees, and a closing date you choose. They buy across Bedford-Stuyvesant, Canarsie, East New York and the rest of the New York City area. Most sellers have an offer within 24-48 hours and close in about 7-14 days.
We Buy Houses in New York City in Any Situation
No repairs, no fees, no obligation - whatever's going on with the property.
Open DOB or HPD violations
Violations, unpermitted work, and a Certificate of Occupancy that does not match the building will stop a mortgage cold. Our buyers purchase and resolve the violations after closing.
Illegal basement or attic conversion
Converted spaces without permits are everywhere in Queens and Brooklyn, and they reliably kill financed deals. Our buyers purchase them as they stand.
Rent-stabilized or long-term tenants
A financed buyer wants vacant possession, which in New York can take years. Our buyers purchase occupied one-to-four family buildings and take the tenancies as they are.
Inherited or probate property
Inherited a family house in the Bronx or Staten Island? Our buyers purchase inherited property as-is with the contents still inside, handled through your attorney.
Behind on taxes or water charges
Unpaid property taxes and water charges can be sold as liens in New York City. Selling settles them from the proceeds before the lien sale runs its course.
Tired of being a landlord
Done with an aging two-family and constant turnover? Our buyers purchase occupied rental buildings across the five boroughs, tenants included.

What Types of Houses Can Get a Cash Offer?
Almost any type of home can qualify: brownstones in Brooklyn, walk-ups in the Bronx, co-ops in Manhattan, multi-family properties in Queens. Homeowners with properties needing repairs, facing foreclosure or liens, landlords offloading rentals, and families navigating probate can all benefit. Even move-in ready homes in competitive neighborhoods are eligible.
Why Should I Choose HomeMatch to Sell My House Fast in New York City?
No Repairs Needed - Sell As-Is: no repairs/renovations required, buyers purchase in any condition. Close on Your Timeline: buyers present offer after visiting, you choose closing date. Skip listings and commissions - connect directly with buyers: no fees, no risk of deals falling through.
Is a Cash Offer Right for You? The Honest Tradeoff
Let's be upfront: a cash offer is not the same as full retail price. Cash buyers purchase homes as-is and take on the repairs, holding costs, and risk, so their offer is typically below what a fully renovated home might sell for on the open market after months of listing.
What you get in exchange is speed and certainty - no repairs, no cleaning, no showings, no commissions or fees, and a closing date you choose, often in as little as 7-14 days.
A cash sale makes the most sense when speed, certainty, and convenience matter more than squeezing out the highest possible price - for example, an inherited property, a tight timeline, or a home that needs work you don't want to fund. If getting top dollar is your priority and you have time to list, repair, and show the home, a traditional listed sale in New York City may net you more.
No pressure either way. The offer is free and comes with no obligation, so you can weigh it against your other options.

Selling Your New York City Home - FAQs
What happens if I don't like any of the offers?
It depends on the property, and it costs nothing to find out. Share a few details about your New York City home and the local cash buyer who covers your area will come back with a no-obligation offer, usually within 24-48 hours.
How to sell my house quickly in New York City?
The fastest route is to skip the listing entirely: share a few details about the New York City property, get a no-obligation cash offer within 24-48 hours, and close in about 7-14 days on the date you choose. There is nothing to repair, clean or stage first, and no waiting on a buyer's financing.
Is HomeMatch available in all NYC boroughs?
Yes, works across all five boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Mentions co-ops in Midtown, townhouses in Park Slope.
What types of buyers are on the HomeMatch platform?
Real estate investors, house flippers, landlords, and institutional buyers.
Will buyers still need to inspect my property?
It depends on the property, and it costs nothing to find out. Share a few details about your New York City home and the local cash buyer who covers your area will come back with a no-obligation offer, usually within 24-48 hours.
Can I choose which offer I want to accept?
It depends on the property, and it costs nothing to find out. Share a few details about your New York City home and the local cash buyer who covers your area will come back with a no-obligation offer, usually within 24-48 hours.
Are there any fees for using HomeMatch?
Completely free for sellers, no fees/commissions/hidden costs.
Do I need to make repairs before requesting an offer?
No. Buyers in our network purchase New York City homes exactly as they stand - no repairs, no cleaning, no staging, no contractor quotes. That includes homes with roof, foundation, water or system damage, and homes full of belongings you would rather not deal with.
How quickly can I expect to receive a cash offer in New York City?
Most New York City homeowners get a cash offer within 24-48 hours and can close in about 7-14 days once title is clear. If you need longer - to find your next place, to let a family member move out, or to line up a move - you pick the closing date instead.
Can I sell a New York City house with open violations?
Yes. Open DOB and HPD violations, unpermitted work, and a mismatched Certificate of Occupancy are among the most common reasons owners here sell for cash - a lender generally will not fund those properties, but a cash buyer can purchase and clear the violations afterward.
How long does a cash sale take in New York City?
Expect three to four weeks. New York is an attorney state and nothing is binding until contracts are signed and exchanged, so even an all-cash purchase runs longer here than in title-company states.
Can I sell my building with rent-stabilized tenants in place?
Yes. Our buyers purchase occupied one-to-four family buildings and take the tenancies as they are, which avoids the years a financed buyer would need to wait for vacant possession.
Do I pay any fees to sell my NYC house for cash?
There is no commission and no charge from HomeMatch. You will still owe New York State and New York City transfer taxes and your own attorney's fee, which are standard on any sale here and settled at closing.
