Sell My House Fast in Princeton, NJ
Princeton's median home value is $1,050,600. At that level, an owner with a house in good shape should usually list it with an agent, and I'll tell you so myself.
Where I fit is the other end: the old house that needs a full renovation, the estate that has to be settled, the rental with tenants. 23.3% of Princeton's housing was built before 1940. I'm Justin Liva, and I buy those houses as-is, for cash.

When a cash sale makes sense in Princeton
A house priced like the renovated one
Princeton sellers sometimes price a house that needs everything as though the renovation were finished. A renovated comp tells you what yours could be worth after the work, not before. My offer is for the Princeton house you have.
Old houses with old problems
43.9% of Princeton's housing went up before 1960. I buy in any condition, including fire-damaged or unlivable houses, so the repairs don't have to happen first.
Rental owners
44.6% of occupied homes here are rented. I'll buy with tenants still living there, and a landlord-tenant attorney can help you sort out your obligations to them.
An estate with a houseful of things
Many of the people I've helped were heirs selling houses they didn't want. Take what matters and leave the rest; I handle the cleanout after closing. For the estate's tax questions, talk to an accountant.
Inherited a house here?
A Princeton house left in an estate brings you to the Mercer County Surrogate's Court, which probates wills and, for people who left none, grants letters of administration.

Selling in Princeton: your questions
If your Princeton house needs more than a coat of paint, send it my way. And if it doesn't, I'll point you toward listing.
Do you buy expensive houses in Princeton?
I do when the numbers work, which usually means the house needs significant work. A Princeton house in great condition will usually do better listed with an agent.
Do you buy Princeton condos?
Yes. 19.6% of the town's housing is in buildings of ten or more units, and I buy condos as they are.
How do you price a Princeton house that needs a full renovation?
I estimate what it would sell for once renovated, subtract the cost of the work plus holding and selling costs, and leave room for the project to make sense. Appraize.ai gives me a fast first look before I go deeper.
