Will I Get Fair Market Value for My San Antonio House?

One of the most common concerns San Antonio homeowners have is whether they'll get fair market value when selling to cash buyers. The answer is nuanced: cash offers account for market value minus repairs and our costs, but when you factor in all the savings (no commissions, no closing costs, no repairs), the net amount you receive is often comparable to or better than traditional sales. Here's a detailed breakdown.

Understanding Cash Offers vs. Market Value

Cash offers are typically below full market value because:

• We're providing convenience and speed
• We're taking on risk
• We account for repair costs
• We eliminate financing contingencies

However, when you factor in:

• No realtor commissions (save 6%)
• No closing costs (save 2-3%)
• No repair costs
• Faster closing
• Guaranteed sale

The net amount you receive may be comparable to or better than a traditional sale, especially if your property needs repairs.

Real Example: Stone Oak Property

Let's break down a real example: We recently purchased a home in Stone Oak that needed $15,000 in repairs. The homeowner received $285,000 from us. If they had sold traditionally:

• List price: $300,000
• Realtor commission (6%): -$18,000
• Closing costs (2.5%): -$7,500
• Repairs: -$15,000
• Net: $259,500

By selling to us, they received $25,500 more and closed in 12 days instead of 60+ days. This is why we say the net amount is often better.

Factors That Affect Your Offer

When we evaluate your San Antonio property, we consider:

• Location: Neighborhood, school district, amenities
• Property condition: Age, repairs needed, overall state
• Market conditions: Current San Antonio real estate trends
• Comparable sales: Recent sales in your area
• Property size: Square footage, lot size, bedrooms, bathrooms
• Special circumstances: Foreclosure, liens, tenant issues

When Cash Offers Make More Sense

Cash offers often net you more money when:

• Your property needs repairs
• You need to sell quickly
• You want to avoid commissions
• You want a guaranteed sale
• You're facing foreclosure
