Selling Your Conshohocken House Before a Move

Conshohocken sits on the river, with tight older rowhomes on steep streets, per our city record. A move can arrive faster than a listing can. Staging a narrow rowhome, repainting stairwells and scheduling showings around packing is a lot to ask in the last month. A cash sale can take some of that off the list.

Kaizen Home Buyers can buy your house for cash in its current condition, with no repairs, no staging and no commission to an agent. You hear a number within 24 hours. Closing can take 14 to 30 days or happen on the day you choose. Sellers in Conshohocken or West Conshohocken can compare it to listing and decide what a few extra weeks of showings are worth.

What’s different in Conshohocken

Check the borough's use and occupancy rule

The borough's use and occupancy permit application may be filed for a sale or transfer of ownership, according to its form. Call the borough before you set a closing date and ask whether your sale needs one. If the house was ever rented, ask whether a rental license is still active, since the borough licenses rentals yearly with an April 15 deadline. Ask the borough what the permit process looks like for a sale, including how long it takes and whether an inspector visits. A date that depends on the borough can set your closing day, so ask before you commit to a moving truck.

Tax on the gain

The IRS lets many sellers exclude up to $250,000 of gain on a main home, or $500,000 for married couples filing jointly, if they owned and lived in it for at least 24 of the last 5 years. A reduced exclusion can apply when a job move is 50 miles or more. Keep your improvement receipts, since a tax professional will ask for them. Gather your closing papers from when you bought, plus receipts for major work such as a roof, a boiler or a kitchen. A tax professional will use them to figure the gain. Having the folder ready can save days when you have a lot to pack.

Transfer tax on the deed

Pennsylvania charges a realty transfer tax on a taxable deed, and the state treats buyer and seller as both liable. The contract can say who pays, and a local tax may be added. Ask the settlement office for the local share on your deed and use the same figure when you compare a cash sale with listing. Compare costs side by side. A listing brings commission and perhaps repair requests, plus the carrying costs of a house you no longer live in. A cash sale trades some price for a date you control. Write both totals on one page.

Checklist before you sell

  • Your move date and the last day you can have access to the house
  • Mortgage statement and payoff request
  • The deed and the names of everyone on title
  • Borough permit papers or any past use and occupancy permit
  • Receipts for improvements
  • Notes on the roof, heater and basement
  • A list of what stays and what moves with you

How Kaizen can help

Tell us your date, then the address and what has been updated. We price the house as it stands, so you do not paint or patch before leaving. That leaves your last weeks for the move. Compare the number with a listing after commission, repairs and the carrying costs of an empty house.

If you need to close after you have left, say so. We can suggest a date that fits, not only the earliest one. Closing speed depends on payoff and title paperwork. Call or text Kaizen Home Buyers at 267-329-0084.

Relocating in Conshohocken: questions

Can I close on my own date?

You can choose a date within 14 to 30 days or later. Payoff and title paperwork set the real earliest date.

Do I need to fix a small rowhome first?

No. Kaizen buys as-is. The price accounts for what the house needs.

Does the borough require a permit when I sell?

The borough's use and occupancy form says applications may be filed for a sale or transfer. Call the borough to learn how it applies.

Is there a tax break for a job-related sale?

The IRS describes a reduced exclusion for some sales tied to a job move of 50 miles or more. A tax professional can tell you whether your facts qualify.
