The short answer

Compare the actual house before choosing how to sell

A listing can test the open market; a direct as-is sale lets you compare a written offer without first taking on repairs, cleaning, or showings. Set the price beside the work, costs, timing, payoff, and other obligations that apply to your property. You choose whether either set of written terms works for you.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

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.

Local property context

Norwich neighborhoods have different histories

Chelsea/Downtown has a dense eighteenth-century building history, Norwichtown is the original settlement area, and Taftville grew around a textile mill. Those place histories can help orient a seller, but they do not establish the age, condition, or value of a particular house.

Current Census maps place Norwich in the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region; New London County is the traditional county name. Norwich's City Clerk handles municipal land records.

Before you set a closing plan

Check who can sign, which costs apply, and any court date

Inherited house and signing authority

An executor or administrator appointed by the Connecticut Probate Court can pursue a sale while the estate is open. Unless the will gives the executor power to sell real estate, the fiduciary needs Probate Court approval. The will, appointment, court papers, deed, and title review determine who signs and what the closing needs; being an heir or beneficiary alone does not establish authority.

Read the Norwich inherited-property guide or the Connecticut Probate Court estate guide.

Connecticut real estate conveyance tax

For a home sale of $2,000 or more, Connecticut's deed-transfer tax is due when the deed is recorded. The state rate is 0.75% on the price up to $800,000, 1.25% on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% on any portion above $2.5 million. Every town also charges a 0.25% municipal tax; a small group of eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. State law assigns the tax to the seller. Ask the closing attorney to confirm the amount and any exemption for the property.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Mortgage foreclosure and court deadlines

Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In strict foreclosure, the judge sets a “law day,” the date to pay the debt; if it is not paid by then, title usually passes to the lender. If there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, an auction run by a court-appointed committee and approved by the court. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the court's Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case. Check the current court papers, payoff, and deadline with an attorney or title company.

Our agreement of sale will often get a law day extended or a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't change the date automatically; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached, and it works more often than people think.
