Why Crystal Sellers Call Us
Crystal has an old name and young houses. The village incorporated back in 1886, largely to avoid being annexed by Minneapolis, but it stayed farmland for decades. The city as it exists now was built after the war, quickly, as modest single-storey houses for families moving out of the city.
That produces a very particular housing stock: small, similar, and all the same age. These were starter homes, and they are now around seventy years old.
The result is the most common call we get here. A house that was never expanded, never substantially updated, and has now reached the point where the furnace, the roof, the windows, the panel and the kitchen are all finished at roughly the same time. Put a price on all of that and many owners decide they would rather sell it as it is.
The second most common is estates, for the same reason: a city built in one decade tends to change hands in one decade.
What We Buy Here
- Small post-war houses in original condition.
- Basements with the water problems that come with foundations of that age.
- Inherited property, often handled from out of state.
- Rentals, occupied or vacant.
- Houses full of fifty years of belongings. You clean out nothing.
Taxes, Foreclosure and Probate
Hennepin County handles all three, and our Hennepin County page sets out the timelines. Worth knowing that you can still sell during the redemption period after a sheriff’s sale. What is owed comes off at closing, and we never publish anyone’s name.
Vacant Houses
City water and sewer, Xcel electric, CenterPoint gas. A vacant house with the utilities off is completely normal for us.
