Why Selling a House in NEPA Is Harder Than You Think
If you're trying to sell a house in Northeastern Pennsylvania, you already know the challenges. NEPA's housing stock is among the oldest in the state — most homes in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and surrounding communities were built before 1950. That means sellers frequently face expensive issues like knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, asbestos, aging foundations, and outdated plumbing that scare off traditional buyers during inspection. Fixing these problems before listing can cost $20,000–$50,000 — money most homeowners don't have sitting around.
NEPA's coal mining heritage adds another layer of complexity. Mine subsidence is a documented concern across Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, and properties built over former mine shafts may have structural complications that make mortgage lenders refuse to finance. For homeowners sitting on properties with these issues, the traditional listing process isn't just difficult — it's often impossible.
Here's the frustrating part: NEPA's market is actually strong right now. Scranton saw approximately 10% price growth in recent years, making it one of the strongest performers in the Northeast. Demand outpaces inventory, and well-priced, move-in-ready homes sell in under 10 days. But that seller's market doesn't help you if your home needs work. The homes we specialize in — the ones with deferred maintenance, mine subsidence risk, code violations, or complicated ownership situations — face a completely different reality on the open market.
That's why ClearEdge exists. Whether you're dealing with an inherited property in Scranton, a rental that's bleeding money in Wilkes-Barre, or a home with L&I violations in Hazleton, we provide a direct path to closing. No repairs, no commissions, no waiting for buyer financing. We've been buying homes across NEPA since 2016 — this is where Tyler started ClearEdge, and it's where we buy most frequently.

You Talk to Tyler, Not a Call Center.
I'm Tyler, the founder of ClearEdge Home Buyers. Since 2016, I've personally bought over 200 homes across Eastern Pennsylvania — from properties with serious structural issues to inherited homes full of decades of belongings. NEPA isn't just a market we serve — I know the neighborhoods, understand the local challenges (mine subsidence in Lackawanna County, aging row homes in the valley, seasonal vacancies in the mountains), and have the contractor and title relationships to close deals that other cash buyers walk away from.
We're not a national franchise, a wholesaler, or an algorithm. When you call ClearEdge, you talk to me directly — not a sales team, not a call center. I personally review every property, make every offer, and show up at every closing. That's why every one of our Google reviews is 5 stars.

NEPA Home Selling Questions
Common questions from NEPA homeowners about selling to ClearEdge.
Yes — and we're one of the few cash buyers in the region who will. Mine subsidence is documented across Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, and most traditional buyers (and their mortgage lenders) won't touch it. We assess the structural situation, factor it into our offer, and close as-is. You don't need to fix anything, get engineering reports, or file mine subsidence insurance claims first.
We can close in as few as 7 days when the title is clear. Most NEPA transactions close within 14 to 21 days. If there are title complications — like a probate that needs to be opened or a tax lien that needs resolved — we handle the coordination and typically close within 30 days. You choose the closing date that works for you.
That's actually our specialty. Many NEPA homes were built before 1950 and need work that would cost $20,000–$50,000+ to address — knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, asbestos, foundation cracks, full gut renovations. Traditional buyers can't get financing on these properties, so they sit on the market for months. We buy them all as-is, in any condition.
Yes — inherited properties are one of the most common situations we handle in NEPA. We regularly buy during the probate process across Lackawanna, Luzerne, and surrounding counties. We can work directly with your estate attorney and close once Letters Testamentary are issued. If you haven't started probate yet, we can also refer you to local attorneys who handle it efficiently.
We buy properties throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Pittston, Kingston, Nanticoke, Carbondale, Dunmore, Honesdale, Bloomsburg, and all surrounding communities in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, and Columbia counties. NEPA is where ClearEdge started in 2016 — it's where we buy most frequently and know every neighborhood.
