Which selling option fits your house and timing?
List with an agent
Ask whether to list the house as it is or make selected repairs first. Compare estimates for work and cleanout, preparation and showings, the costs in your listing agreement, and the bills you expect to carry while it is for sale.
Sell by owner
Selling without an agent puts advertising, buyer questions, showings, price discussions, and sale coordination in your hands. Include the time and any professional support you choose when comparing this route.
USA Home Buyers has two purchase options. 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. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Compare their written numbers with a listing plan or selling by owner, including the work and costs for your house.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
With a Cash Offer, USA Home Buyers buys directly. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, and partner visits are part of that option.

A local detail that can matter when you sell
New Haven’s housing stock includes well-preserved 19th- and 20th-century residential architecture, and some neighborhoods combine apartments with commercial space. Fair Haven’s history also includes multifamily housing and residential redevelopment. For an older home or a multi-unit property, we can compare a Cash Offer, designed for tough repair situations, with EZ Sale, often a better fit when major repairs are not needed and you want a higher number. See the New Haven architectural overview and Fair Haven history.
For another local reference, see the New Haven neighborhoods and nearby towns page.
Which costs should you compare before choosing?
A listing may involve repair and cleanout work, preparation, agent commissions under the listing agreement, and bills while the house is for sale. For a direct sale, the written offer and terms show the proposed price and costs; mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate. A headline price alone does not show what you may keep.
Connecticut charges a real estate conveyance tax on taxable deed transfers of $2,000 or more. For a home, the state rate is 0.75% on the price up to $800,000, 1.25% on the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% on any part above $2.5 million. Every town has a 0.25% municipal tax; eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. The amount and any exemption depend on the transaction. Read the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services conveyance-tax information and Connecticut General Statutes § 12-494; the closing professional can confirm the amount for your deed.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
