Why Homeowners in Philadelphia Choose EasyOffer
Philadelphia's median home value is $227,523 (Zillow, 2026), up 2.2% year-over-year.

Listing a home as-is on the Philadelphia market often means sitting for months and fielding lowball offers from bargain hunters. Buyers who use financing frequently cannot close on homes that fail inspection. EasyOffer buys with cash, so there are no appraisal contingencies or inspection walk-aways to worry about.
Philadelphia's housing market offers some of the best relative value among East Coast cities, with median home prices around $250K–$290K despite being the nation's sixth-largest city and benefiting from Amtrak access to New York and Washington. The city's strong anchor institutions — Penn, Jefferson, CHOP, and Temple — provide a stable employment base supporting rental demand, while rowhouse neighborhoods offer investors manageable acquisition costs with solid rent-to-price ratios. The ongoing transition of the tax abatement program and the city's above-average property tax rate require careful modeling for new construction and renovation projects.
We also serve property owners in nearby Center City, Wharton, Pennsport, and throughout Pennsylvania.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does selling a house as-is actually mean?
Selling as-is means you are not making any repairs or improvements before the sale. The buyer accepts the property in its current condition, including any defects, damage, or deferred maintenance.
Do I still need to disclose problems if I sell as-is in PA?
Yes. In Pennsylvania, sellers are typically still required to disclose known material defects. Selling as-is does not remove your disclosure obligations, but it does mean you are not responsible for fixing anything.
Will I get a lower price selling my Philadelphia house as-is?
Our offer reflects the current condition and avoids the costs you would spend on repairs, agent commissions, and months of carrying costs. Many sellers net more after factoring in those savings.
What kind of condition do you buy houses in?
Any condition. Damaged roofs, mold, foundation problems, fire damage, water damage, outdated systems, hoarder situations, code violations — we have seen it all and we buy it all.
Can I leave furniture and belongings in the house?
Yes. Leave whatever you do not want. We handle all cleanout and disposal after closing at no cost to you.
How do you determine the offer price on an as-is house?
We evaluate the property's location in Philadelphia, lot size, comparable sales, and estimated repair costs. You receive a transparent breakdown of how we arrived at our number.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
