😟 Stuck With a Vacant House in Winston-Salem?
If you’ve got an empty home sitting in Winston-Salem, you’re not alone.
Whether it’s a rental that didn’t work out, an inherited property, or just a house you moved out of and never sold, leaving a property vacant creates a long list of problems:
-
Higher insurance premiums
-
Property taxes with no income
-
Risk of vandalism or break-ins
-
Moisture and mold buildup from poor airflow
-
Complaints from neighbors or citations from the city
-
Ongoing maintenance with no one to manage it
💡 Even a well-kept vacant home can depreciate fast without regular upkeep.
🏚️ Why Vacant Homes Are Harder to Sell on the Market
If you’re thinking of listing the property through a real estate agent, here’s what you need to know:
❌ Vacant Homes Show Poorly
Empty rooms feel colder, less inviting, and often highlight flaws more than a lived-in home. Buyers have a harder time picturing themselves living there.
🧽 You Still Have to Clean & Maintain
Even if you’re not living there, you’ll need to:
-
Cut the grass
-
Remove debris
-
Clean inside
-
Pay utilities to keep the lights on
-
Make repairs before listing
All while still paying taxes and insurance.
🔍 Inspections Can Be Brutal
Empty homes often haven’t had ongoing maintenance. Once inspected, small issues become big price reductions — or cause buyers to walk.
🔑 Your Best Options for Selling a Vacant House
Let’s break it down:
1. Fix It Up and List With an Agent
✅ This works if the home is in decent shape and you’ve got time and money to make it shine.
🚫 But most sellers are tired of pouring more money into a property that’s already draining them.
2. Sell As-Is With an Agent
This could work, but expect:
-
Low offers
-
Weeks (or months) on the market
-
Fees for commissions and closing costs
-
Limited buyer pool (many need financing)
