Why This Situation Is Hard

Owning a home that requires significant repairs can feel like a heavy burden, especially when the costs start to pile up. You do not have to drain your savings or deal with unreliable contractors just to get your property ready for the market.

Foundation issues, roof replacements, outdated electrical and plumbing systems, and water damage can cost $30,000 to $100,000 or more to fix. Traditional buyers expect a move-in-ready home and will demand repair credits or walk away after inspection. Lenders will not approve financing for homes with major structural or safety issues. You are left choosing between spending tens of thousands on repairs you may never recoup, or letting the home deteriorate further while it sits unsold. Meanwhile, property taxes and insurance keep rising on a home that is losing value every month. The longer you wait, the worse the damage gets and the more expensive the repairs become.

What You Should Know

Situation-Specific Considerations

Repair costs

Major repairs like foundation, roof, and electrical work can cost $30,000 to $100,000 or more, often exceeding the home's value after renovation.

Financing barrier

Lenders will not approve mortgages for homes with major structural or safety issues, eliminating most traditional buyers.

Inspection failures

Traditional buyers will demand credits or walk away after a home inspection reveals major problems, restarting the listing process.

Local St. Louis Context

Major Repairs on St. Louis Area Homes

Many St. Louis homes, particularly the mid-century brick ranches in North County and the century homes in South City, have reached the age where major systems need replacement. Foundation issues are common in the clay-heavy soils of North St. Louis County, and roof replacements on older homes can cost $10,000 to $20,000 or more. Traditional buyers in the St. Louis market expect move-in ready homes, and FHA and VA buyers cannot get financing on properties with structural or safety defects.

We buy homes needing major repairs throughout the metro, from foundation-cracked ranches in Hazelwood to outdated bungalows in Bevo Mill. You never need to hire a contractor, pull a permit, or spend savings on repairs you may never recoup. We assess the home in its current condition and make a fair cash offer that accounts for the work it needs.

Your Options

Compare Your Choices

Repairing before listing means spending tens of thousands upfront with no guarantee of recouping the cost. Doing nothing means the home loses value as damage spreads. A cash sale pays you now, as-is, with zero repair costs.
