Why Vacant Houses Are So Expensive to Hold
Most owners drastically underestimate what it costs to hold a vacant house. It's not just the mortgage — it's the combination of property taxes (which in Lehigh County average over 1.5% of assessed value annually), vandalism-rated insurance (often double standard insurance for occupied properties), minimum utilities, exterior maintenance to avoid code citations, and the silent loss of value as the property deteriorates.
Example: A $200,000 vacant house in Allentown typically costs between $7,000 and $15,000 per year just to hold — before any repairs. If the house sits vacant for 18 months while you decide what to do, that's $10,000–$22,000 of your net worth disappearing, with nothing earned in exchange.
And that's before vandalism risk, copper theft, squatters, or frozen-pipe damage. The fastest way to stop the bleeding is a clean cash sale. We close in 7 days, handle any cleanouts or code citations afterward, and you walk away with money instead of a monthly problem.
Common Challenges You May Be Facing
We've helped dozens of families navigate these exact situations.
Carrying Costs Adding Up
Property taxes, vandalism-rated insurance (often double standard coverage), minimal maintenance, utilities. The average vacant house costs $500-$1,500/month just to hold.
Vandalism & Theft Risk
Vacant houses are targets. Copper theft from pipes and HVAC, frozen pipes in winter, squatters moving in. The longer it sits empty, the worse it gets.
Code Violation Citations
Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton — every borough fines vacant properties for exterior issues (overgrown lawns, trash, broken windows). Fines pile up fast and become liens.
Accelerated Deterioration
Vacant houses deteriorate faster than occupied ones. No heat, no ventilation, undetected leaks — damage compounds month over month.
Squatter Risk
Pennsylvania has complicated squatters'-rights law. Once someone establishes residence, removing them requires formal eviction — months and thousands in legal fees.
Injury Liability
If someone is injured on your vacant property — even a trespasser — you can be liable. Owner liability doesn't end when the house empties out.

Common Questions
Answers to questions we hear from homeowners in your situation.
Do you buy houses with severe hoarder situations or biohazards?
Yes. We've bought properties with multi-foot hoarder accumulation, infestations, water damage, mold, decades-old plumbing issues, and more. You don't have to touch anything before the sale. We handle all cleanout after closing.
My vacant house has active code violations. Can you still buy?
Yes. Code violations get paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds. You don't have to resolve the violations first. This is common on vacant properties — most boroughs cite vacant homes for exterior maintenance even when owners are doing their best.
What if there are squatters in the property?
We'll work with you. If squatters are legally established as residents under PA law, there's a formal eviction process that typically runs 30–60 days. We can buy before eviction if you prefer (adjusting price to reflect it) or wait until after. Mike knows the nuances of PA squatters'-rights law.
My inherited house has been vacant for years. Is it even worth selling?
Almost always, yes. Even a house that's been vacant for 5+ years with significant damage usually has value — the lot alone in many Lehigh Valley neighborhoods is worth $40,000–$80,000. And the ongoing carrying costs mean the bleeding only gets worse the longer you wait.
Do I need to visit the house to sell it?
No. We work with plenty of out-of-state sellers — heirs, relocated owners, former landlords. We handle the inspection, title work, and closing remotely when needed. You never have to set foot on a property you don't want to walk through.
How fast can you close?
7 days standard from signed contract. On vacant properties timing matters more — every month is thousands in carrying costs. We've closed in as little as 5 days when owners were facing escalating code citations or probate court deadlines.
Are there any fees?
Zero. No fees, no commissions, no closing costs. We pay back taxes and pending fines out of the sale proceeds. The offer is the net cash you receive.
