How Much Cash For Houses In Omaha Can You Get?
If you’re thinking about selling your house, here’s how much money you can get
First, let’s look at the two ways you can sell your house. Ther first one is selling your house on the market. All that means is you are marketing your property to as many people as possible. That may be done by a real estate agent or it can be done by you, the homeowner. If it’s done by the agent, they will market your house using the MLS (multiple listing service). The MLS is able to market your property using a database showing the homes for sale in a certain geographic location. If you decide to try selling your house yourself, for sale by owner, there are several marketing channels you can use. Unfortunately, you will not be able to market your property via the MLS because that is for real estate agents to use. You still can market your property on apps such as Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, etc.
Now if you decide to sell your house off market, you are not marketing your property at all. Instead, you are looking for individual buyers to buy your house. This may be a friend, neighbor, family member or maybe you contact your local home buyers. Why would you look to sell your house off market though? Off market listing will not yield the market price for your property so there are several possible reasons why and we will explore those a little later.

You might be reading this and asking, “why would anyone accept below market price, and less cash for houses in Omaha than others?”
That’s a good question but there’s more to the story:
- Selling on the market usually means you’re selling it to a person who will choose to live in the house. Your house is marketed to people who are looking for a house that they can see themselves living in for the foreseeable future. As a seller, it will be your responsibility to make the property as attractive as possible. But when you sell off the market, you’re often selling to a company that might be investing in your house to turn it into a rental property or to renovate it and sell it. These are the buyers who will buy the property as-is, meaning they don’t care what kind of condition it is in.
- Selling on the market usually means the buyer needs financing and this can come with all kinds of contingencies. They could be using FHA, Conventional or they could come with a cash offer. Selling off the market, in a private sale, often means that a professional home-buying company will pay cash for houses in Omaha. (That’s why some people prefer to sell off the market – they don’t want to wait for the seller to get financing; they want to know they’ve sold the house right away). This is where that convenience comes in, one less thing to worry about!
- Selling on the market actually costs money… sometimes a lot of money. If your house needs renovations and repairs, you usually have to spend money to fix up your house before you sell it on the market. Let’s not forget about inspections that come with selling your house on the market. Most buyers will want to have their future home inspected by a professional home inspection company. They will go up and down your property looking for any sort of defect and will report it to the buyer. This is where more money will come out of your pocket because you have a buyer and they want something fixed. Most likely you, as the seller, will do what the buyer wants to make them happy. However, when you sell it off the market, such as to a company like us at Property Bridge Solutions, LLC, you will be able to sell your house as-is – saving the money (and the time and hassle). We don’t care what your property may look like!
- Selling on the market through an agent will often result in commissions and fees to the agent for the work they did to sell your house (more money out of your pocket). You have to work with the agent because they are going to want to show your house to any potential buyer. That means your house has to be clean as possible at all times. You have to be ready to leave your house at all times, something that may be hard for many people. But selling off the market to a home buying company like Property Bridge Solutions, LLC usually means no commissions or fees or closing costs. We will cover all that and more! We don’t care what kind of condition your house is in, we just want to see it and buy it as-is!
How much can you get for your home? Selling on the market may mean you sell your house for more money but it takes longer and costs more; selling off the market may mean you sell your house for below market price but it’s faster and there are no expenses or fees. We will give you a cash offer for your house as-is, meaning you will do nothing to your property, and you can even leave what you do not want to move. We will take care of the trash, the problems and anything else you want to leave behind!
So, how much will sellers get in cash for houses in Omaha? It depends on how you sell – on the market or off the market… and that is determined by how quickly you want to sell and how much time and money you’re willing to invest to sell. Remember, getting cash for your house from a professional homebuyer like us may be a good option for you to explore.
