Avoid the High Cost of Home Repairs in Berkeley When Selling Your Home

Living in Berkeley, and indeed in California, doesn’t come cheap. Repairing your home to sell it on the open market can put a serious dent in your wallet. Still not convinced? Take a look at these common repairs requested during a traditional sale and their average costs:

Most Common Repairs

HVAC Fixes: $150-$1,250 

HVAC problems often crop up during home inspections in Berkeley, and the repair costs can skyrocket depending on the extent of the issue. You could be looking at anything from $150 to $1,250.

Water Heater Fixes: $150-$1,300 

Water heaters, especially in older Berkeley homes, can fail unexpectedly. Some buyers might pass on a house with an aged water heater, given that a replacement can cost up to $1,500, depending on the model and usage.

Electrical Fixes: $60-$5,000

If your house is older or was flipped, and electrical issues arise, brace yourself for a big bill. Houses like these often need extensive rewiring to meet current safety standards. An electrician can charge anywhere from $60 per hour to $5,000 for more complex jobs.

Roof Fixes: $75-$8,500 

All homes, regardless of age, will eventually need roof repairs. Older homes might even require a full roof replacement due to risks like water damage or structural instability. In 2023, the average cost for a new roof was $8,500, with prices for larger roofs climbing even higher.

Berkeley, California Residents Adore Us! Hear What They Have to Say:

Of the five homes I've bought and sold, this is by far the easiest and absolutely fair deal... I would recommend them to anybody looking to sell their house, if they asked for 10 stars I would give them 20... I had other bids on the market and they were considerably higher than anybody else. They took the time to listen about the property and considered all aspects and views given to them... Best wishes to all the Osborne group, just phenomenal job people!!!!
David G.
The tenants that I had in my house were just out of control. This just became super stressful and I was done with them and the house. A friend told me about Osborne homes, after a few phone calls and an appointment, I was able to sell my home with tenants included.
Stephen S.
I got this house in an auction but I wanted to sell it so I sold it to Osborne. I have sold with Open Door before and it was bad. I loved the experience, hands on support and they tailored to my every need. If I need more homes to be sold I am choosing Osborne!

Frequently Asked Questions

We at Osborne Homes frequently encounter queries regarding our process for buying homes in Berkeley – hence, we thought it best to compile and address the most common ones right here for your convenience.

Not at all! We aren’t a real estate agency and we don’t list your house on the market. We simply buy your property for cash, bypassing the MLS process, thus facilitating a speedier closure. This way, you also avoid realtor fees!

Absolutely! We’ll assist you throughout the process as it heavily relies on factors like the balance of the loan, the fair market value, and your current circumstances. In many cases, if the payoff of the loan exceeds the home’s value, we’ll collaboratively work on a mutually beneficial agreement to help you escape your mortgage effortlessly.

We consider various factors that are heavily influenced by the situation, needs, and condition of the house. We aim for a fair market value by comparing similar homes in your Berkeley neighborhood. After inspecting the property, we come up with a reasonable offer considering the fair market value and the other factors we mentioned.

Not at all! One of the perks of partnering with Osborne Homes is that you’ll only ever encounter one expense, and that’s our cost to buy your Berkeley home. The closing process simply involves signatures, without any need for payment.

Depending on your urgency, we might be able to close the deal within 7 days. If it’s a critical situation, we can discuss transactions without a site visit, but our typical approach is usually just as quick and it’s beneficial to let us inspect your home as per our standard process. If you need to sell your home today and close the deal tomorrow, it’s unlikely. However, if you aim to sell within a few weeks, it’s highly probable that we can facilitate that.

A cash offer is, in simple terms, a proposal for your home, in cash. Osborne Homes operates differently with our unique methodology called the cash deal system. It’s more flexible than an “offer” – which works better for you, as the final price is negotiable and can be adjusted to fit your situation. On the other hand, traditional offers come with counter offers/bidding, making it a lengthier process.

Indeed, we do! If your property is located in California, we’re likely able to purchase it. For quicker transactions and on-site inspections, we prefer properties in Berkeley due to their proximity to our inspection agents and main office. For a complete list of all locations we buy houses in, please refer to our California locations page.
