Selling Your Levittown House When You Are Moving

Levittown is a planned community of thousands of near-identical 1950s starter homes, so a move sale often turns on what has changed since: a new heater, a finished basement, a back addition. A move date leaves little time to document those changes.

Modest Pennsylvania colonial prepared for an upcoming move

Our cash offer comes within 24 hours, and we buy the house as it stands, so the aging heater or the unfinished addition does not need a contractor first. No agent commission comes out on our side. Closing is usually 14 to 30 days out, or on the date your move requires. Listing with an agent may earn more when time is not tight.

What’s different in Levittown

Resale rules depend on the municipality

Levittown spans more than one municipality, so the sale rules are not the same on every block. Falls Township, according to a 2021 township article, replaced its resale inspection with certifications for the heating system, chimney, sewer system and electrical panel, then issues a certificate of occupancy. The township also said it does not require a home inspection, which stays between buyer and seller. Check your tax bill for your municipality and ask its code office what applies today.

Plan the transfer tax

Pennsylvania's state realty transfer tax starts at 1 percent, and a local transfer tax can add to it. The state holds both sides liable, while the sales contract can assign who pays. Your title company shows the figure on the settlement statement, and the new deed is recorded with the county Recorder of Deeds. Ask the settlement office to price the transfer tax before you commit to a closing date.

Check the tax on your gain

A seller who owned and lived in the home for at least 24 of the last 5 years may exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly. A move for work can qualify for a reduced exclusion when the full time test is not met. A tax professional can apply the rules to your numbers.

Checklist before you sell

  • Set two dates: when you must be out and when you want to close.
  • Ask your lender for a mortgage payoff figure.
  • Find your deed and the most recent Bucks County tax bill.
  • Note any additions, the age of the roof and heater, and any known leaks.
  • Look up your municipality and call its code office about sale requirements.
  • Decide what to take, what to leave and what to donate.
  • Ask a tax professional about the home sale exclusion before you sign.

How Kaizen can help

Reach us at 267-329-0084 or through the form with your address and your move-out date. Within a day you have a cash offer for the house as it is, and nobody schedules showings around your packing.

Choose a closing date that matches the day you hand over the keys, generally two to four weeks away. Because we take the house as-is, the price sits below what an updated Levittown home might fetch on the market. If a listing or a different plan looks better to you, you are free to decline.

Relocating in Levittown: questions

Can I sell my Levittown house without fixing the original systems?

Yes. Kaizen buys as-is, so a 1950s heater, old wiring or a dated kitchen does not need to be replaced first. The offer reflects the work the house would need. If your municipality requires certifications, ask the code office who handles them.

Does Levittown have one set of resale rules?

No. The development crosses several municipalities, and each handles resale its own way. Falls Township's 2021 process uses four system certifications and a certificate of occupancy. Call your own municipality's office to confirm what applies.

Can you close on a specific date?

We can close in 14 to 30 days or on the date you choose, as long as title and payoff paperwork are ready. Tell us your move date on the first call. We will say plainly if the date looks too tight.

Is the sale price taxed?

Not necessarily. Many sellers can exclude part or all of the gain on a main home. The size of your exclusion depends on how long you owned and lived there. Ask a tax professional to run your numbers.
