Selling a House in Reading Doesn't Have to Be Hard
Reading's real estate market doesn't work like the suburbs. Properties here face challenges that buyers from outside Berks County don't understand — and the city's enforcement mechanisms don't wait for you to figure it out.
If you're behind on payments, you're watching the Berks County judicial sale calendar. Pennsylvania's judicial foreclosure process gives homeowners some time, but that time runs out. Once your property is scheduled for sale at the Berks County Courthouse, traditional listing isn't realistic. You need speed, and real estate agents can't guarantee that.
The city's code enforcement has intensified. Reading's housing stock is old — block after block of row homes and twins built for factory workers a century ago. Deferred maintenance that went unnoticed for years is suddenly generating violation notices. Properties in lower South Reading, Oakbrook, and parts of Glenside are getting cited for issues that would cost more to fix than the houses are worth on the open market.
Then there are the situations that traditional buyers simply can't handle. Maybe you're dealing with a parent's estate and the house is full — forty years of accumulation that overwhelms you every time you visit. Maybe you inherited a property from a relative who hoarded, and you can't imagine how to even begin clearing it out, let alone making repairs.
Reading's economics make all of this harder. Property values in some neighborhoods haven't kept pace with renovation costs. Spending $40,000 to update a house that might sell for $60,000 doesn't make sense — but traditional buyers need those updates to get financing.
We've been buying houses in Reading and throughout Berks County for years. We've purchased properties days before judicial sale. We've bought hoarder houses without requiring cleanout. We've closed on rentals with non-paying tenants and homes with violation lists longer than the settlement statement. You don't need to fix anything, clean anything, or resolve anything. We buy as-is and handle the complications after closing.
