Selling an As-Is House in Merced
We buy as-is houses all over Merced, including Downtown Merced, in zip codes 95340, 95341, 95343. Population is about 86,333, and the city sits in Merced County, where we have been buying for years.
Many Merced buyers use FHA or VA loans, and those loans usually cannot be used on a house that does not meet the lender's condition standards. That is why as-is houses mostly sell to cash buyers. California still requires sellers to share known problems with the house, even in an as-is sale.
We price repairs from real numbers, because our crew does the work: about $35 per square foot for cosmetic work, $45 for heavier cosmetic work, $65 for a full rehab, $90 for a full rehab with fire damage, and up to $135 per square foot for a badly burned house. See exactly how that turns into a number on how we calculate your offer, and compare it with listing on cash offer vs. listing.
Inside Merced city limits, code problems go to the City of Merced's Code Enforcement Program, reachable at (209) 385-6237. It handles houses and buildings that are dangerous, substandard, blighted, or vacant, including problems like unsafe wiring or plumbing, no heat or running water, and pest infestations. If your house has open city violations, see selling a house with code violations.
