Questions About Selling a House in New Haven, CT

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

The amount depends on the sale price and municipality. For a residential sale, Connecticut state conveyance tax is 0.75% on the first $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 municipality also receives 0.25%; some eligible towns may add another 0.25%, so the closing professional confirms the amount for the property. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if the loan is paid off before the court deadline. Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In a strict foreclosure, there is no auction: the judge sets a law day, and title usually passes to the lender if the debt is not paid by then. If the court orders a foreclosure by sale, a court-appointed committee runs the auction and the court approves it. 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.

Often, yes. The executor or administrator appointed by the Connecticut Probate Court can sell the house while the estate is open. Unless the will specifically gives the executor power to sell real estate, the sale needs Probate Court approval. You can start the conversation before every estate paper is gathered; we review who can sign and whether court approval is needed before closing.

Yes. In an ordinary sale, the buyer becomes the new landlord and existing leases generally stay in effect; selling the house does not end the tenancy. We review occupancy and lease terms as part of the sale discussion.

You can ask about a house with a code notice or fire damage as it stands. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We review the condition and any notices as part of the sale discussion; an as-is sale does not erase an active order or lien.
