A condemnation is about as serious as a property problem gets. When the city deems a home unfit or unsafe to occupy, you're left with a house you can't live in or rent, ongoing code pressure, and the threat of fines or even demolition — all on a property that's nearly impossible to sell the traditional way.
We buy condemned houses across Evansville and the Tri-State, as-is and for cash. We take on the unsafe-building order, the code case, and the repairs, so a property that's become a liability turns back into cash in your hands.
How it works
- Tell us about the house — address and condition. Two minutes.
- Get a fair cash offer — based on real Evansville-area values. No obligation.
- You choose closing — 7 days or on your schedule. We pay all closing costs.
What condemnation means
A home is typically condemned when local officials determine it's unsafe or unfit for occupancy — due to structural failure, severe damage, or accumulated code violations. The City of Evansville can post the property, bar occupancy, and order repairs or demolition. Until the order is resolved, the house can't be used, and that makes a normal sale all but impossible.
We buy it — and take on the order
You don't need to lift the condemnation, complete repairs, or resolve the code case before selling to us. We buy the property as it is and take on the unsafe-building order and the work required to address it after closing. The city's demands become our responsibility, not yours.
Stop the fines and demolition risk
A condemned property can rack up fines and slide toward a city-ordered demolition — sometimes with the cost billed back to you as a lien. Selling now transfers that exposure to us and ends the cycle. For many owners, escaping the mounting penalties matters as much as the cash itself.
Why no one else will buy it
A condemned home can't be financed, can't be insured normally, and can't be occupied — so traditional buyers are off the table entirely. The only realistic buyer is one who can pay cash and take on the rehabilitation or demolition. That's exactly what we do.
An honest offer, even for a tough property
We'll give you a straight cash number that reflects the home's condition and the cost of clearing the order, and we'll explain how we got there. Even land with a condemned structure on it often holds real value, so a sale that frees you from the liability frequently beats walking away.
Local buyers who handle the hardest cases
We serve Evansville and the surrounding Tri-State — Newburgh, Chandler, Boonville, and Henderson, KY, across Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Posey counties. We know the local code-enforcement process and buy condemned properties others won't touch. Reach out for a free, no-obligation cash offer.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell a condemned house?
Yes. We buy condemned homes as-is for cash and take on the unsafe-building order and required repairs ourselves after closing.
Do I have to lift the condemnation first?
No. You don't need to resolve the order or complete any repairs — we buy the property as it is and handle the code case.
Will selling stop the fines and demolition threat?
Selling transfers that exposure to us and ends the cycle, so the fines and demolition risk stop being your problem.
Why can't a normal buyer purchase it?
A condemned home can't be financed, insured normally, or occupied, so traditional buyers can't proceed. A cash buyer who can rehab or demolish is the realistic option.
What happens to the condemnation after you buy?
It becomes our responsibility. We take on the unsafe-building order and work directly with the city to address it through repair or demolition. Once we close, the code case is no longer your concern.
Where do you buy?
