Common Indianapolis Situations
Local investors see these often. Each one has a guide with more detail.
Older house that needs work
More than 60% of Marion County housing was built before 1980, per county officials cited by WFYI. Many investors buy older homes as they are.
Selling a house that needs repairsRental property
Indiana caps property taxes on non-homestead residential property at 2%, versus 1% for a homestead, per the DLGF. Many investors buy rentals with tenants in place.
Selling a rental propertyInherited house
Indiana's small estate affidavit covers estates up to $100,000 for deaths after June 30, 2022 (IC 29-1-8-1). Real estate often takes added steps, so heirs usually work with a probate attorney.
Selling an inherited houseBehind on mortgage payments
Indiana foreclosures go through the courts, and borrowers can request a settlement conference with the lender. Requesting an offer early adds another option to weigh.
Selling a house in pre-foreclosureVacant house
An empty house still carries taxes, insurance and upkeep. Many investors buy vacant homes as they are, from Speedway to Beech Grove.
Selling a vacant houseListing expired
If your listing ended without a sale, a cash offer is another path to compare. Investors look at homes across all nine Marion County townships.
Selling after your listing expiredMoving on a set schedule
Relocating for a job or family often means working around a fixed date. You can talk through a closing date with the investor that fits your plans.
Choosing your closing dateMore than one offer
If you receive offers from more than one investor, it helps to compare the terms side by side, not just the price.
Comparing cash offersCash Sale or Listing?
Both work. The right one depends on your timeline and the condition of the house.
| Topic | Cash sale to a local investor | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs and prep | Usually none. Sell as is. | Repairs, cleaning and staging are common |
| Showings | Usually one walkthrough | Showings and open houses |
| Time before escrow | No time on market | Indianapolis median: 27 days on market |
| Buyer financing | Cash, no lender approval needed | Most buyers need a loan and an appraisal |
| Closing date | You help choose it | Set around the buyer's loan timeline |
| Agent commission | None | Typically paid at closing |
| Best for | Speed, certainty, or a house that needs work | Move-in-ready homes when time isn't a factor |

Indiana Rules Worth Knowing
The basics for selling a home in Marion County. General information, not legal or tax advice.
No transfer tax, but a sales disclosure form
Indiana does not charge a real estate transfer tax at recording. Most sales instead need a Sales Disclosure Form (State Form 46021) filed with the county, with a filing fee (IC 6-1.1-5.5).
Seller's residential disclosure
Owners of homes with up to four units generally give the buyer a signed disclosure form before accepting an offer (IC 32-21-5-10). Estate fiduciary, court-ordered and some other sales are exempt (IC 32-21-5-1).
Judicial foreclosure
Indiana foreclosures go through the courts, with a right to request a settlement conference (IC 32-30-10.5). A sheriff's sale generally waits three months after filing, and there is no redemption after the sale (IC 32-29-7).
Property tax caps
Indiana caps property tax bills at 1% of assessed value for homesteads and 2% for other residential property. Nonresidential property is capped at 3% (DLGF).
Indianapolis Seller Questions
Straight answers on how a cash sale works here.
Who makes the offer on my house?
Cash Offer Company connects you with local investors who buy homes in Marion County. The investor makes the offer and buys the home. Requesting an offer is free and there's no obligation.
Do I pay a transfer tax when I sell in Indiana?
Indiana does not charge a transfer tax at recording. A Sales Disclosure Form and its filing fee usually apply instead, so confirm details with your title company.
Do I need to make repairs before I sell?
Many investors buy houses as they are, including older homes that need updates. The investor can explain what their offer assumes during the walkthrough.
What disclosure do I give a cash buyer?
Most owners of one to four unit homes complete Indiana's seller residential disclosure before accepting an offer. Some sales, like estate sales by a fiduciary, are exempt under IC 32-21-5-1.
Can I sell during a foreclosure case?
Often, yes, before the sheriff's sale. Indiana borrowers can request a settlement conference, and an attorney or housing counselor can explain your options.
Can I sell a rental with tenants in it?
Many investors buy rentals with tenants in place. Review your lease terms with an attorney before you sign a contract.
Can I request an offer outside the Indianapolis city limits?
Yes. You can request an offer anywhere in Marion County, including Beech Grove, Lawrence, Southport and Speedway.
How do I choose a closing date?
You agree on a date with the investor. Many sellers pick a date tied to a move, a new job or an estate step.
