The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) released a revised Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice effective May 28, 2026, plus a new groundwater and surface water rights disclosure and a new version of the standard resale contract, both mandatory since July 1, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most sellers, the real question is financial: will avoiding repairs, carrying costs, and

Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can sell a Texas house as is without making repairs first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most sellers of a previously occupied single-family home must still give the buyer a Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice (TREC Form 55-1), but some transfers, including foreclosure sales and sales by an estate\u2019s executor or administrator, are exempt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An as-is clause is generally enforceable in Texas, but it does not protect a seller who hides known defects or misrepresents the property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As-is homes commonly sell for about 5% to 30% below the value of a comparable repaired home, depending on condition and demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash buyers and investors typically offer 50% to 70% of the after-repair value (ARV), minus repair costs, so a cash offer is fast but rarely the highest-net option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare <a

to sell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains what an as-is sale means under Texas contracts and law, the 2026 disclosure changes, current market conditions, how buyers price as-is homes, your selling options, and the steps involved.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"card my-5 shadow-lg\">\n<div class=\"card-body py-md-4\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center

class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Selling a House As Is Mean in Texas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling as is means offering the property in its present condition. You are telling buyers that you do not plan to repair or upgrade the home before the sale. It does not mean known problems can be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trec.texas.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/pdf-forms\/20-19_3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale), Form 20-19<\/a>, the as-is choice sits in Paragraph 7D, \u201cAcceptance of Property Condition.\u201d The buyer checks one of two boxes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Paragraph 7D(1):<\/strong> the buyer accepts the property as is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paragraph 7D(2):<\/strong> the buyer accepts the property as is, provided the seller completes specific, named repairs and treatments at the seller\u2019s expense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TREC\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/trec.texas.gov\/node\/346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guidance on Paragraph 7D<\/a> says 7D(2) should list only specific repairs known when the contract is signed, not general phrases such as \u201csubject to inspections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with 7D(1) checked, the buyer can still inspect the home, ask for repairs in a later amendment, or terminate during the option period. The option period is set in Paragraph 5 of the contract. Its length and fee are negotiated, and while it runs, the buyer has an unrestricted right to terminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article provides general real estate information, not legal advice. For questions about a specific contract or disclosure obligation, consult a Texas real estate attorney.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-is-an-as-is-clause-enforceable-in-texas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is an As-Is Clause Enforceable in Texas?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, yes. The leading case is Prudential Insurance Co. of America v. Jefferson Associates, Ltd., decided by the Texas Supreme Court in 1995. Under that decision, a buyer who agrees to purchase as is agrees to make their own appraisal of the property and accepts the risk of being wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The protection has limits. A buyer is not bound by an as-is agreement that was induced by a fraudulent representation or by the seller\u2019s concealment of known information. The Texas Real Estate Research Center summarizes the balance in its analysis of <a href=\"https:\/\/trerc.tamu.edu\/article\/a-clause-for-concern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as-is clauses in Texas<\/a>: sellers should be honest, and buyers should be diligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For sellers, the practical takeaway is simple. Complete your disclosures honestly, answer buyer questions truthfully, and do not cover up known defects. An as-is clause protects you from complaints about conditions you disclosed or did not know about. It is not a shield for hiding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-texas-disclosure-rules-for-as-is-sales-in-2026\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Texas Disclosure Rules for As-Is Sales in 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/statutes.capitol.texas.gov\/Docs\/PR\/htm\/PR.5.htm#5.008\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Property Code Section 5.008<\/a> requires a seller of residential property with no more than one dwelling unit to give the buyer a written Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice. TREC publishes the standard version as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trec.texas.gov\/forms\/sellers-disclosure-notice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 55-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-changed-on-the-seller-s-disclosure-notice-in-2026\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What changed on the Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice in 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Form 55-1 replaced Form 55-0 and has been effective since May 28, 2026. The revision, directed by the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission, added questions about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conservation easements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the property is currently insured<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windstorm insurance coverage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the seller has been unable to insure the property for any reason<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private roads on or adjoining the property that the seller must maintain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aboveground and underground storage tanks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insurance questions matter for as-is sellers. A home with roof, foundation, or water problems may be harder to insure, and buyers now see that history on the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common disclosure areas still include the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical system, HVAC equipment, previous flooding or water penetration, flood insurance claims, and floodplain location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-new-water-rights-disclosure-trec-61-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New water rights disclosure (TREC 61-0)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since July 1, 2026, TREC contracts include a new Paragraph 7I and a separate form, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trec.texas.gov\/forms\/water-notice-sellers-disclosure-about-groundwater-and-surface-water-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seller\u2019s Disclosure About Groundwater and Surface Water Rights (TREC 61-0)<\/a>. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trec.texas.gov\/article\/faqs-sellers-disclosure-about-groundwater-and-surface-water-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TREC\u2019s FAQ<\/a>, the seller does not have to provide it when all of the statements in Paragraph 7I(3) of the resale contract are true, for example when the seller is not aware of a water well or of a pond, lake, or water tank on the property. Typical subdivision homes on city water often fall into that group. Rural and acreage properties more often do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-when-must-the-disclosure-be-delivered\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When must the disclosure be delivered?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice must be delivered on or before the effective date of the contract. If it arrives later, the buyer may terminate the contract for any reason within seven days after receiving it. Delivering the disclosure before you sign protects your deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-you-do-not-have-to-disclose\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you do not have to disclose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 5.008(c) says a seller has no duty to disclose a death on the property from natural causes, suicide, or an accident unrelated to the property\u2019s condition, or whether a previous occupant had HIV or AIDS. If you do not know the answer to a question, the statute lets you mark it as unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-who-is-exempt-from-the-seller-s-disclosure-notice\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is exempt from the Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 5.008(e) lists the transfers that do not require the statutory notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Transfer type<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Statutory disclosure required?<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Court-ordered sale or foreclosure sale<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sale by a trustee in bankruptcy<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer to the lender (for example, a deed in lieu of foreclosure), or a sale by a lender that acquired the home through foreclosure<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sale by a fiduciary administering a decedent\u2019s estate, guardianship, conservatorship, or trust<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer from one co-owner to one or more other co-owners<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer to a spouse or to a person in the lineal line of consanguinity<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer between spouses under a divorce decree, legal separation, or property settlement<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer to or from a governmental entity<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New home that has never been occupied as a residence<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Property where the dwelling is worth no more than 5% of the total property value<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Typical owner-occupant or landlord selling a previously occupied home, including to an investor<\/td><td>Yes: Form 55-1 or a substantially similar notice<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being exempt from the statutory form does not make it safe to hide problems. Fraud and Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) claims can still arise if a seller knowingly misrepresents or conceals a material defect, and many buyers ask for a disclosure anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-other-disclosures-that-may-apply\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other disclosures that may apply<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lead-based paint:<\/strong> homes built before 1978 require the federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/lead\/real-estate-disclosure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lead-based paint disclosure<\/a> and EPA pamphlet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special districts and associations:<\/strong> depending on location, separate notices may apply for municipal utility districts (MUDs), public improvement districts, or property owners\u2019 associations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a section-by-section walkthrough of the form, see iBuyer.com\u2019s guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/texas-sellers-disclosure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas seller\u2019s disclosure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-pros-and-cons-of-selling-as-is-in-texas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pros and Cons of Selling As Is in Texas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling as is can save time and upfront cash, but those benefits usually come with a lower sale price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-pros\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid expensive repairs.<\/strong> You do not have to fund improvements before putting the home on the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the property faster.<\/strong> Skipping renovations can eliminate weeks of contractor work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sell a difficult property.<\/strong> Homes with foundation movement, an aging or hail-damaged roof, outdated systems, water damage, or significant deferred maintenance can still attract buyers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduce carrying costs.<\/strong> A shorter preparation period can mean fewer months of mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attract cash buyers.<\/strong> Some investors specialize in homes that conventional buyers do not want to repair or cannot finance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cons\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Expect a price discount.<\/strong> iBuyer.com research estimates that as-is homes commonly sell about 5% to 30% below the value of a comparable repaired property, depending on condition and demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your buyer pool may shrink.<\/strong> Serious structural or safety problems can make financing or insurance harder to obtain for some buyers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buyers price in uncertainty.<\/strong> An offer may reflect estimated repair costs plus extra room for unexpected problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Disclosures still matter.<\/strong> Selling as is does not eliminate applicable Texas disclosure requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed does not guarantee the best net.<\/strong> A fast offer can still leave you with less money after comparing all available options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-texas-housing-market-snapshot-for-as-is-sellers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Texas Housing Market Snapshot for As-Is Sellers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An as-is home competes with every other listing in its area.

At 5.5 months, with nearly one in four Texas listings taking a price cut, buyers have room to negotiate, and that pressure falls hardest on homes that need work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mortgage rates above 7% add to it. Financed buyers have less room in their budgets for repairs after closing, and some lenders will not finance homes with serious structural or safety problems, which pushes those properties toward cash buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local demand still varies widely. Texas REALTORS reported prices rising in 15 of 26 metro areas in Q3 2026 even as the statewide median slipped. An as-is property in Houston may face very different demand than a similar home in Austin, Midland, or a rural county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-much-do-you-lose-selling-a-house-as-is-in-texas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Much Do You Lose Selling a House As Is in Texas?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no fixed Texas discount for an as-is home. iBuyer.com research places the typical difference at roughly <strong>5% to 30% of market value<\/strong>, depending on condition, local demand, and buyer type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Property condition<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Broad working range<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Cosmetic issues<\/td><td>About 5% to 10% below market value<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Moderate deferred maintenance<\/td><td>About 10% to 20% below<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Major structural or system problems<\/td><td>About 20% to 30% or more below<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are broad benchmarks, not guaranteed Texas results. A structurally sound home with dated flooring and paint may face a much smaller discount than a property with active foundation movement and water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a complete condition-by-condition analysis, see <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/how-much-do-you-lose-selling-a-house-as-is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how much you lose selling a house as is<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-cash-buyers-and-ibuyers-price-an-as-is-texas-home\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Cash Buyers and iBuyers Price an As-Is Texas Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors and iBuyers use different formulas, which is why their offers on the same house can be far apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-local-cash-buyers-and-investors\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Local cash buyers and investors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most cash buyers and investors offer about 50% to 70% of the home\u2019s after-repair value (ARV), minus the estimated repair cost. ARV is what the home would likely sell for once fully repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That margin has to cover repairs, holding costs, resale expenses, and profit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attomdata.com\/news\/market-trends\/flipping\/home-flipping-profits-continue-gradual-two-year-decline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ATTOM\u2019s Q2 2026 Home Flipping Report<\/a> shows why investors buy cautiously: the typical gross profit on a flipped home fell to $60,526, a 21.5% margin, down from 27.6% a year earlier. ATTOM notes that this gross figure excludes rehab and other costs, which experienced flippers estimate at 20% to 33% of ARV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-ibuyers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>iBuyers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/ibuyer-pros-cons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iBuyer<\/a> typically offers about 85% to 100% of market value before its service fee, then deducts repair costs found during its assessment. Many homes with major structural problems, unpermitted work, or significant water damage will not qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example: a home worth $330,000 after repairs that needs $40,000 of work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Buyer type<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Pricing formula<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Example offer<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Cash buyer, low end<\/td><td>50% of ARV minus repairs ($165,000 \u2212 $40,000)<\/td><td>$125,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cash buyer, high end<\/td><td>70% of ARV minus repairs ($231,000 \u2212 $40,000)<\/td><td>$191,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>iBuyer, if the home qualifies<\/td><td>85% to 100% of market value, before service fee and repair deductions<\/td><td>$280,500 to $330,000 before deductions<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These figures are illustrative.

Repairs are more attractive when the problems are mostly cosmetic, the work is relatively inexpensive, and the expected increase in sale price clearly exceeds the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling as is becomes more attractive when major repairs require substantial upfront cash, you need to move quickly, carrying costs are increasing, or the return on renovation is uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expected repaired-sale net<\/strong> = expected sale price \u2013 repair costs \u2013 agent compensation \u2013 seller closing costs \u2013 carrying costs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expected as-is net<\/strong> = as-is sale price \u2013 applicable fees \u2013 seller closing costs \u2013 carrying costs \u2013 other seller obligations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Illustrative net comparison: $330,000 after-repair value, $40,000 in needed repairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Line item<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Repair, then list<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>List as is on the MLS<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Sell to a cash buyer<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Sale price<\/td><td>$330,000<\/td><td>$280,500 (15% as-is discount)<\/td><td>$191,000 (70% of ARV minus repairs)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Repairs paid by seller<\/td><td>\u2212$40,000<\/td><td>$0<\/td><td>$0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Agent compensation (assumed 5%)<\/td><td>\u2212$16,500<\/td><td>\u2212$14,025<\/td><td>$0 (direct sale)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seller closing costs (assumed 2%; 1% for cash sale)<\/td><td>\u2212$6,600<\/td><td>\u2212$5,610<\/td><td>\u2212$1,910<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Extra carrying costs (assumed $2,500\/month)<\/td><td>\u2212$7,500 (3 months)<\/td><td>\u2212$5,000 (2 months)<\/td><td>\u2212$1,250 (2 weeks)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Estimated net<\/td><td>$259,400<\/td><td>$255,865<\/td><td>$187,840<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, repairing first produces the highest net, but only if the seller has $40,000 available and the work stays on budget. Listing as is nets a few thousand dollars less with no upfront cash. The cash sale nets far less but closes fastest, with no showings, financing risk, or repair risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Change the assumptions and the answer can flip: a bigger repair bill, a foreclosure deadline, or no cash for repairs all favor an as-is sale.

With Texas homes taking a median of 68 days to sell in September 2026, plan for that. Agent compensation and other selling expenses may apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-sell-to-a-local-cash-buyer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sell to a Local Cash Buyer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local investors frequently buy properties that need significant repairs. The main advantages are speed and condition flexibility. A verified <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/cash-home-buyers-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cash buyer<\/a> also removes mortgage financing risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade-off is price: expect offers of about 50% to 70% of ARV, minus repairs. Compare multiple buyers when possible rather than treating the first cash offer as the market value of the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-sell-to-an-ibuyer-where-eligible\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sell to an iBuyer Where Eligible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iBuyers use technology and market data to make direct purchase offers on qualifying homes, typically 85% to 100% of market value before their service fee. Eligibility, fees, repair deductions, and availability vary by company and location, and homes with major repairs often do not qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-compare-selling-options-through-ibuyer-com\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Compare Selling Options Through iBuyer.com<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iBuyer.com is a comparison platform, not the purchaser of your property.

Under <a href=\"https:\/\/statutes.capitol.texas.gov\/Docs\/PR\/htm\/PR.51.htm#51.002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Property Code Section 51.002<\/a>, a homeowner generally receives a notice of default with at least 20 days to cure, followed by a notice of sale at least 21 days before the sale, and foreclosure sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An as-is sale removes the time needed for repairs, but listing or selling the home does not automatically stop foreclosure. Your options depend on where you are in the process. See iBuyer.com\u2019s guides on <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/how-to-stop-foreclosure-in-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to stop foreclosure in Texas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/selling-a-distressed-home-in-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">selling a distressed home in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-inherited-property\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inherited Property<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inherited homes often come with deferred maintenance, belongings to clear, multiple heirs, and ongoing expenses. If the heirs do not want to renovate or manage the property, selling it as is may simplify the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two Texas details matter. A sale by an executor or administrator in the course of administering the estate is exempt from the Section 5.008 disclosure, while heirs who sell in their own names usually are not. And if no one lives in the home as a primary residence, it may no longer qualify for the residence homestead exemption, which now shields $140,000 of value from school district taxes under <a href=\"https:\/\/capitol.texas.gov\/tlodocs\/89R\/billtext\/html\/SB00004F.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senate Bill 4<\/a>, so carrying costs can rise.

Confirm Your Home\u2019s Condition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make a realistic list of known problems. Contractor estimates or a pre-listing inspection can help you decide whether fixing an issue makes financial sense, although sellers are not required to order an inspection simply because they plan to sell as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-estimate-the-home-s-current-value-and-arv\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Estimate the Home\u2019s Current Value and ARV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at recent comparable sales and current local conditions. Compare your home with properties in similar condition, and separately estimate what it would sell for once repaired, since cash buyers price from ARV. A free <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/home-value-estimates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home valuation<\/a> is a good starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-complete-the-applicable-texas-disclosures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Complete the Applicable Texas Disclosures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check whether your transfer is exempt under Section 5.008(e). If not, complete the current TREC Form 55-1 accurately and deliver it before the contract\u2019s effective date. Check whether the water rights disclosure (TREC 61-0) applies, and add the federal lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-choose-your-selling-path\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Choose Your Selling Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compare an as-is MLS listing, local cash buyers, qualifying iBuyers, and available comparison options. Choose based on your priorities for price, timing, repairs, and convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-5-request-multiple-offers-when-possible\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Request Multiple Offers When Possible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One offer gives you one buyer\u2019s opinion of your property. Several offers give you a better basis for comparing price and terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-6-compare-the-net-and-contract-terms\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Compare the Net and Contract Terms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review more than the purchase price. Check fees, repair deductions, the option period and fee, contingencies, proof of funds, the closing date, and any seller obligations before signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-7-complete-the-sale\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Complete the Sale<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you accept an offer, follow the contract through title work, any inspections or agreed contingencies, settlement, and closing.

Be cautious when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The buyer will not provide proof of funds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are pressured to sign immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The price drops substantially without a clear explanation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contract terms are blank or incomplete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fees appear late in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assignment terms are unclear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The buyer asks for a long option or inspection period that keeps your home off the market without a real commitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The buyer tells you to skip the Seller\u2019s Disclosure Notice when your sale is not exempt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The buyer discourages you from reviewing the contract independently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are asked for unexplained upfront payments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One warning sign does not automatically prove fraud, but unclear terms deserve extra scrutiny before you sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-selling-your-texas-house-as-is\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selling Your Texas House As Is<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling as is can make sense when repairing the property would cost more time, cash, or effort than you want to invest. The trade-off is straightforward: you gain convenience and avoid upfront repairs, but buyers discount their offers to account for the home\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before deciding, estimate the home\u2019s current value and ARV, complete the 2026 Texas disclosures that apply to your sale, and compare the expected net from several selling paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Want to compare your options?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iBuyer.com<\/a> can help you explore available offers so you can evaluate price, timing, and terms before choosing how to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px;

You can sell a house as is in Texas without making repairs first. Most sellers of a previously occupied single-family home must still give the buyer a Seller&#8217;s Disclosure Notice (TREC Form 55-1), and the buyer can still inspect the home and terminate during an option period if the contract includes one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you have to disclose when selling a house as is in Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You must disclose the known conditions covered by Texas Property Code Section 5.008, such as problems with the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical system, HVAC, previous flooding, and flood insurance claims. Since May 28, 2026, Form 55-1 also asks about insurance coverage, windstorm coverage, any inability to insure the property, private roads, storage tanks, and conservation easements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does an as-is clause protect the seller in Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally, yes. Texas courts usually enforce as-is clauses, so the buyer accepts the risk of conditions they did not discover. The clause does not protect a seller who made false statements about the property or concealed known defects to get the buyer to sign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need a seller&#8217;s disclosure if I sell an inherited house as is?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It depends on who is selling. A sale by an executor, administrator, or trustee in the course of administering an estate or trust is exempt from the Section 5.008 disclosure. If the heirs already own the home in their own names and sell it, the exemption usually does not apply. Even when exempt, sellers should not misrepresent known problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need a seller&#8217;s disclosure if I sell to a cash buyer or investor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Usually, yes. Selling to an investor does not by itself create an exemption. The exemptions depend on the type of transfer, such as foreclosure sales, court-ordered sales, estate administration, or transfers between co-owners or spouses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the new Texas water rights disclosure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TREC Form 61-0, the Seller&#8217;s Disclosure About Groundwater and Surface Water Rights, became mandatory on July 1, 2026. It applies when the property has features such as a water well, pond, lake, or water tank, or associated water rights. The seller does not need to provide it if all of the statements in Paragraph 7I(3) of the TREC resale contract are true.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much do you lose selling a house as is in Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no fixed amount. As-is homes commonly sell about 5% to 30% below the value of a comparable repaired home, depending on condition, local demand, and the buyer type.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much do cash buyers pay for as-is houses in Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most cash buyers and investors offer about 50% to 70% of the home&#8217;s after-repair value, minus the estimated repair cost. iBuyers typically offer 85% to 100% of market value before their service fee and repair deductions, but many homes needing major work do not qualify.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can a buyer back out of an as-is contract in Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, in some cases. Under the TREC resale contract, a buyer who paid for an option period has an unrestricted right to terminate during that period. A buyer may also terminate within seven days if the Seller&#8217;s Disclosure Notice was delivered after the contract&#8217;s effective date, or under a financing or other contingency in the contract.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it better to sell a house as is or make repairs in Texas?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It depends on the numbers. Repairs make sense when they are affordable and raise the sale price by more than they cost. Selling as is makes more sense when repairs are expensive, cash is limited, a foreclosure or move deadline is close, or the return on renovation is uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-editorial-note\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editorial Note<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article was updated in November 2026.
