What are your options for selling an as-is Manchester house?
You can sell a house in its current condition. The practical choice is how much work, time, and expense you want to take on, and what the written terms say.
List with an agent
You can list the house as it stands or make repairs first. An agent can handle marketing, showings, and offers; your listing agreement sets the services, commission, and other charges.
Sell it yourself
You set the asking price and manage advertising, buyer questions, access to the house, and offer discussions. You can hire help for parts of the sale if you want.
For a direct sale, compare the written price and terms with the time and costs involved in the other paths. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
The Cash Offer is a direct purchase from USA Home Buyers. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. Compare the written numbers and terms for both with a listing plan or selling by owner.
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.

Which Connecticut selling costs should you compare?
Connecticut real estate conveyance tax applies when a taxable deed is recorded for a sale of $2,000 or more. For a home, the state tax is 0.75% of the price up to $800,000, 1.25% of the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% of any part above $2.5 million. Every town also gets a 0.25% municipal conveyance tax. Some eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. Some transfers are exempt, and the closing attorney confirms the amount for the sale. See the Connecticut conveyance-tax statute and the Department of Revenue Services tax information.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate costs to account for. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
What can you do now?
Tell us what needs work, whether belongings are still inside, and when you hope to sell. We can talk through the house and compare the options with you. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
