Selling a House in Wilkes-Barre Doesn't Have to Be Hard
Wilkes-Barre homeowners face challenges that people outside the Wyoming Valley don't understand. The history of this city is written in coal dust and floodwater — and that history shows up in every real estate transaction.
Start with the flood zones. The 1972 Agnes flood reshaped this valley, and the resulting FEMA maps still control what buyers can and can't finance. If your property sits in a designated flood zone, traditional buyers need expensive flood insurance — and many lenders won't touch the deal at all. You're left with a smaller buyer pool and longer time on market.
Then there's what's underneath. The anthracite mines that built this region left behind a maze of underground voids. Mine subsidence isn't a theoretical risk in Luzerne County — it's a present reality. Foundations crack. Walls shift. Insurance claims get complicated. Traditional buyers run from these properties, and the ones who don't can't get conventional financing.
The city's code enforcement has teeth now, too. Wilkes-Barre's rental registration program requires inspections, and the housing inspectors are working through decades of deferred maintenance across the city. Violations that went unnoticed for years are suddenly generating fines. Properties in Parsons, the North End, and Rolling Mill Hill are getting notices that owners can't afford to address.
Maybe you inherited a house on the Heights from a parent who lived there for fifty years. Maybe you're watching the sheriff sale calendar at the Luzerne County Courthouse and running out of time. Maybe you've been a landlord in South Wilkes-Barre for years and you're done — done with the tenant calls, done with the code letters, done with writing checks for a property that never cash flows.
We've been buying houses in Wilkes-Barre since we expanded from Scranton. We know the flood maps, understand the mine subsidence risks, and have closed deals with every type of title complication this city can produce. You don't need to fix the violations. You don't need to resolve the flood insurance situation. You just need someone who'll make a fair offer and actually close.

Questions About Selling in Wilkes-Barre
We believe in complete transparency. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
Yes. Flood zone properties are difficult to sell traditionally because buyers struggle with flood insurance requirements and lender restrictions. We buy with cash, so those financing barriers don't apply. We factor flood risk into our offer and handle insurance transfers after closing.
