You might be worried that you won’t be able to sell… but the good news is that you CAN (so long as the cracked foundation is disclosed to the buyer and they agree to purchase it “as is”).
But… just how bad is the damage?
That depends. Small hairline cracks are often just the foundation settling with the soil. Larger cracks may not be, so it’s worth having a structural engineer take a look. More problematic signs include…
– Gaps in the foundation walls
– Misaligned doors or windows
– Diagonal cracks in brick walls
– Large cracks (> 1/4″)
– Leaning chimneys
You can sell a house with foundation damage either way. Repairing first may support a higher listing price; selling as-is avoids the repair cost and the wait.
Fortunately, you don’t have to sell the traditional way. You could sell your house as-is for a fair cash price and not make any repairs at all.
You could even pick your closing date, not pay agent commissions, and have us pay the normal closing costs.
