About the area
Why New Rochelle sellers call us.
New Rochelle runs from the Long Island Sound shoreline to a downtown that has added more new apartment towers in the last decade than almost anywhere else in Westchester, and its houses live between those two worlds. The north end holds prewar colonials and Tudors on leafy streets, the south end holds two family homes and older frames within walking distance of the Metro-North station, and all of it carries Westchester property taxes that shape every seller’s math. We have been buying houses in the NY metro area since 2000, and New Rochelle sellers call us when the equation stops working: too much house, too much tax, too much deferred maintenance, or an estate that nobody has time to manage. For background on the city, see this New Rochelle community profile.
Nick York handles acquisitions for EZ Home Buyers, and Westchester is a market he prices carefully because the stakes are bigger: the houses are larger, the renovation numbers are larger, and the carrying costs punish hesitation. If you are thinking about selling your house in New Rochelle, you deserve a written number, the comparable sales behind it, and a week to think without the offer shrinking. That is exactly what we provide.
Cash home buyers in New Rochelle: when the traditional sale stops making sense
A New Rochelle colonial that has not been updated since the 1990s faces a specific problem on the open market: buyers at Westchester prices expect finished product, their inspectors write long reports, and their lenders demand repairs before closing. Meanwhile the quarterly tax bill arrives whether the house sells or not, which makes every extra month on market genuinely expensive. A cash sale ends that clock. We buy as-is, we do not renegotiate after an inspection, and the closing date is yours to set, two weeks out or two months.
The New Rochelle sellers we hear from most
Estates lead the list. A parent leaves the family colonial to children who long ago moved away, the Westchester County probate process starts, and the house sits, taxed and empty, while the family debates repairs nobody wants to fund. We buy inherited houses exactly as they sit, contents included, coordinate with the estate attorney, and close when the Surrogate’s Court paperwork allows, with every document handled remotely if the executor lives out of state.
Downsizing is a close second: longtime owners done with four bedrooms of maintenance and a tax bill sized for a family of five. Divorce sales, where one party has already relocated and both need a certain date rather than a listing adventure, and corporate relocations on fixed timelines round out the list. And for owners who have fallen behind, New York’s court-run foreclosure process moves slowly enough that selling first, protecting your credit and your equity, is almost always still possible.
What New Rochelle houses are actually selling for
The median sale price in New Rochelle is around $535,000, up sharply over the past year. As everywhere, the median describes marketable condition: the renovated colonial near a top elementary school gets the headline number, while the dated house with an aging roof and original systems gets inspection theater and price cuts. We price your house against what it actually is, show you the comparable sales, and put it in writing.
Taxes, violations, and the practical side
Westchester’s carrying costs are the quiet force behind many of our purchases here: when a house needs work and the taxes keep arriving, waiting has a price tag. We also buy houses with open violations, expired permits, water damage from the Sound-side storms, and tax liens, all resolved through the closing rather than by you in advance. Two family homes with tenants in place are welcome too; the tenancy transfers to us at closing.
What we buy in New Rochelle
Single family homes, two to four family houses, condos, vacant land, and mixed use buildings. We do not buy co-ops. From a Sound-side colonial to a two family near the station, if it is in New Rochelle we want to look at it.

Recent New Rochelle transaction
A North End Colonial, Four Heirs, and a Tax Clock That Would Not Stop
The house was a 1928 colonial on a quiet street in New Rochelle's north end, bought by the family in the 1960s. When the last parent passed, it went to four adult children: one in Connecticut, one in Florida, two on the West Coast. The house was structurally sound and cosmetically frozen in 1995, and the Westchester tax bill came due every quarter whether anyone lived there or not.
The heirs' first instinct was to renovate and list. Two contractors quoted the kitchen, bathrooms, and roof; the numbers started with a one and six digits followed. Nobody wanted to fund it from savings, and a renovation managed by four owners in four states is a group project with no volunteers. Meanwhile the estate paid nearly nine thousand dollars in taxes during the six months the family spent deciding.
The Connecticut brother found us through our Yonkers page and asked the question we hear weekly: what would you pay for it exactly as it stands? Nick York walked the house on a Tuesday, sent the written offer Wednesday morning with the comparable sales attached, and spent an hour on a four-way call answering questions, including the honest one about what a renovated flip would sell for and what the renovation would cost them to get there.
The offer held open while the family talked it over for five days. We closed 24 days later, timed to the Surrogate paperwork, with every signature handled by overnight mail. The heirs took the photographs, the piano went to a granddaughter in Stamford, and we handled everything else. The Florida sister's note afterward said the thing they valued most was that the tax clock finally stopped. That is how we buy in Westchester.
Common reasons New Rochelle sellers call us.
Settling an estate from out of state
The classic New Rochelle sale: a family colonial, decades of belongings, an executor two time zones away, Westchester probate. We buy it as it sits and close on the estate's timeline, all remotely.
Done paying taxes on empty bedrooms
Downsizing owners are often paying a family-of-five tax bill on a household of two. One walkthrough, one written offer, one closing date you pick, and the carrying costs end.
A divorce that needs a date, not a listing
When one party has already moved and both need certainty, we can close in as little as two weeks with proceeds split however the parties agreed.
Corporate relocation on a fixed timeline
Tell us the date the move happens and we build the closing backward from it. No buyer financing to hope over.
The renovation number nobody wants to fund
Dated kitchens, original systems, an aging roof: financed buyers demand fixes, we price them as line items and buy as-is.
Pre-foreclosure anywhere in New Rochelle
New York's slow court process usually leaves time to sell first, protect your credit, and keep the equity an auction would take.
Storm and water damage near the Sound
Water finds Sound-side basements. Chronic moisture scares financed buyers; for us it is a repair cost in the offer, not a dealbreaker.
A two family you're done managing
We buy occupied buildings with the tenancy transferring at closing, whether the rent has been arriving or not.
Frequently asked questions about selling in New Rochelle.
How do I sell my house fast in New Rochelle?
Call (516) 964-7222 or submit the short form on this page. We visit the property, make a written cash offer within 24 hours, and you pick the closing date, often seven to fourteen days out. No agents, no repairs, no fees, and no obligation to accept.
How fast can you close on a New Rochelle house?
Two to three weeks is typical once we make an offer, because we pay cash and no lender is involved. Relocations with fixed dates are a specialty: tell us the date you need and we build the closing around it.
The house is large and hasn't been updated in decades. Does that kill the offer?
It shapes it honestly. A Westchester colonial that needs a full update is priced with that work as an open line item, explained at the kitchen table. What kills traditional sales here, inspection panic and lender repair demands, does not happen in a cash sale.
I'm the executor and I live out of state. Can this be done remotely?
Yes, completely. Documents move by overnight mail or e-signature, we coordinate with the estate attorney and the Westchester County Surrogate's Court timeline, and nobody has to fly in for the closing. We buy the house as it sits, contents included.
Property taxes are the main reason we're selling. Does that affect your offer?
No. The offer is built from the house, comparable sales, condition, and needed work, not from your reason for selling. High carrying costs are one of the most common and most sensible reasons New Rochelle owners sell to us.
There's a tenant in the downstairs unit. Is that a problem?
No. We buy two family homes with tenants in place, paying or not. The tenancy transfers to us at closing and we handle it from there.
I'm behind on my mortgage. Is it too late to sell?
Usually not. New York foreclosures run through the courts and take a long time, and until the process completes you generally retain the right to sell. Selling first protects your credit and recovers equity the auction would erase.
Do I pay commissions or fees when I sell to EZ Home Buyers in New Rochelle?
No agent commissions and no listing fees. We cover standard closing costs on our side. The offer we present is what you walk away with, minus any mortgage balance or liens paid off at closing.
