Sell Your Newport News House As-Is: Tidal Flooding, Flood Zones, Repairs

Because of where Newport News sits on the Chesapeake Bay, the City explains, northeast winds or a storm offshore can push tides higher than normal and keep them from flowing back out, and rising seas are making tidal flooding more frequent 3. If high water has reached your yard, crawl space or living room, you don't have to repair the damage before you sell. Tell us what happened on the call.

A flood zone isn't the whole picture, either. The City notes that FEMA reports more than 20 percent of flood claims come from properties outside the high-risk zones, and that an estimated 60% of the properties affected by Hurricane Matthew in 2016 had no flood insurance 4. To see your zone, use the City's GIS Map Viewer or call 757-933-2311 and ask for flood information on your property 5. Have what you learn handy when you call us.

Cash Offer or Listing With an Agent in Newport News?

Put on the market with an agent, a Newport News house in good repair may bring a higher price than our cash offer, if you can give it time. That time has a cost: the commission, the fixes from a buyer's inspection, and the mortgage, insurance, taxes and utilities until settlement. The Newport News market figures show how many days listings have been taking.

The fair yardstick is what you'd keep. The cost example for Newport News estimates a listing's net; compare our written offer with it.

Selling a House in Hilton Village or North End

Newport News has two historic districts, Hilton Village and North End/Huntington Heights. Each has an architectural review board that maintains the historic and architectural integrity of the area, with authority set in the zoning chapter of the City Code 1. In Hilton Village, the board is responsible for the special historic zoning regulations written for the village 2.

Those rules cover changing a house, not selling it. If you started exterior work, applied to a review board or were turned down, tell us on the call; it's part of the house's condition.

Enter your address to get started. One short call about your home’s condition, and your cash offer comes in writing.

Selling a Virginia House in a Hard Spot

If one of these sounds like your situation, here's what Virginia law generally says about it, in plain terms. For advice on your own situation, talk to a Virginia attorney.

Facing foreclosureA trustee sells the house at auction. Here are the notice rules and the timeline.

When a Newport News home you live in is headed to a trustee's sale, the trustee must mail you the time, date and place at least 60 days ahead by certified or registered mail, along with the names of HUD-approved housing counselors and Virginia's legal aid center 6. The auction can happen at the house, in front of the Newport News circuit court building, or elsewhere in the city 7. Call a counselor, and have a Virginia real estate attorney read anything before you sign it.

Inherited a houseWho handles the will, who inherits without one, and what the small-asset affidavit covers.

Newport News wills are probated by the Circuit Court Clerk's Office at 2500 Washington Avenue. The probate packet goes in through the City's online Probate Portal, with a copy of the will and a redacted death certificate, and it has to reach the Probate Division before an appointment can be set. Bring the original will and death certificate to the appointment; filing fees and taxes are due that day. For general questions, the Clerk's Office is at 757-926-8561 8. Its staff aren't attorneys and suggest a Virginia attorney for specific questions 9. Tell us where the estate stands.

Behind on paymentsA servicer generally can't start foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind.

Federal rules generally bar a mortgage servicer from starting foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind 10. Once a Virginia trustee's sale is set, the 60-day notice clock is already running, so the time before that is the time to call your servicer about options, or to sell before a notice ever goes out.

Going through a divorceHow a Virginia court can divide a house in a divorce, and why selling can make it simpler.

In a Virginia divorce, the court decides which property is marital and which is separate, and property titled in both spouses' names is generally marital. To divide a jointly owned house, the court can give it to one spouse, let one buy out the other, or order it sold 11. Selling it yourselves turns the house into money that's simpler to divide. Your divorce attorneys can tell you what your order requires before either of you signs a contract.

Selling a rental with tenantsYour tenants don't have to move out first. Bring the lease and the deposit records to the call.

The tenant doesn't have to move out before we make an offer. A month-to-month tenancy can generally be ended by written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date, unless the lease sets a different period 12. A security deposit can't be more than two months' rent, and it has to be accounted for when the tenancy ends 13. Tell us about the lease, the rent and the deposit on the call.

Moving away or downsizingLine the sale up with your move, and ask your next city or county about tax relief at 65.

The sale can line up with your move. If you're 65 or older and moving to another Virginia home, ask that city or county about real estate tax relief. Virginia lets each locality exempt or defer some or all of the tax on a home owned and lived in by someone 65 or older, on conditions the locality sets 14.

Newport News Cash Home Buyers: Common Questions

Prefer to talk it through?

Call (984) 489-8269
How fast can you buy my house in Newport News?

A Newport News settlement can be set for as little as 14 days after you accept our written offer. The settlement agent's title search and your mortgage payoff statement usually decide the day, and your lender owes you that statement within seven business days of a written request 16. Orders, an estate or a tenant's lease can change the timing, and a later date is fine.

How do you decide your cash offer on a Newport News house?

On the phone, based on what you tell us about the house. We'll ask its age, how the roof, foundation and heating and cooling are doing, whether a high tide or a storm has ever put water in the house or crawl space, which repairs are waiting, and who lives there. Mention any flood claims. If a line in the written offer isn't clear, ask how we reached it.

How much will a cash buyer pay for my Newport News house?

There's no fixed number. It comes from the house's condition, the work it needs and what you tell us on the call. The figure arrives in writing, and the cost example for Newport News shows how to hold it up against a listing's take-home.

Will a cash offer be lower than listing my Newport News house?

In most cases. A Newport News house in good shape, with time to find a buyer, can sell for more through an agent. Compare the money each route leaves you after the commission, the repairs and the months of carrying costs.

Do I have to disclose problems if I sell my Newport News house as-is?

Some things, yes. Virginia's residential disclosure statement says the owner makes no representations about the house's condition and leaves the checking to the buyer 17. But an owner who knows the National Flood Insurance Program has paid two or more flood insurance claims of more than $1,000 on the house within ten years must say so 18. In Newport News, tell us about any tidal or storm flooding you know of.

My Newport News house is near Fort Eustis. Does that affect the sale?

It can add a disclosure. Joint Base Langley-Eustis includes Fort Eustis in Newport News 19, and Fort Eustis has its own airfield, Felker Army Airfield 20. Virginia law has an owner in a locality with a military air installation tell the buyer whether the parcel lies in a noise zone or accident potential zone, where the locality has marked one on its official zoning map 21. Ask the City's planning office whether your parcel is in one before you sign.
