Start with current Lewiston market facts
Use the current Lewiston market report for citywide home-value and recent-sale context. It cannot tell you what one house will sell for or how quickly it will sell.
We look at the home's condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and the timing that matters to you; a citywide average cannot account for those details.
Compare the practical ways to sell
A listing puts the house on the open market. It can fit when you have time to prepare the property, manage showings and negotiations, and compare the eventual sale proceeds with the costs and carrying time.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
| Option | How it works | Approved program terms |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Offer | USA Home Buyers buys directly. | 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. |
| EZ Sale | Goes to one of our partners. | 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. |
Read the written terms before you decide
You receive the written offer and terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
What is distinct about Lewiston housing?
Lewiston's mill-era core includes older tenement and multifamily housing near the canal, while later suburban housing lies farther from downtown. The Tree Streets plan identifies Tree Streets as a core neighborhood within downtown. If a house needs work, we buy it as-is — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Include Maine's transfer tax in the comparison
Maine's real estate transfer tax is $2.20 for every $500 of value or fraction of $500, split evenly between seller and buyer. The portion of value above $1,000,000 also has an additional $3.80 per $500 tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
