It isn't as impossible as you think when it comes to selling an 'unlivable' house. For a person has the right to list and sell a home with 'as in' clearly stated. But be certain that you are completely upfront about all that is wrong with the house, that way the buyers cannot come back on you for giving out false an inaccurate information. If you list it with an agent you will have to fill out a Seller's Disclosure form of some sort and that will take you step by step through the house and you will be able to list all known problems and defects. But selling a home in an 'as is' condition you will have to take less money for it then you might want. |

First, I would avoid using the word "unlivable" in the description. |

have it torn down and sell the land plot. empty land can sell high because people mcan customize it as they want instead of having to change whats there. youll just have to find people who want to build not want to just get a house.
talk to a realestate agent most of them are nice and they can help you sell your plot. |

There are companies that buy houses in poor condition. They will fix it themselves to turn a profit so you will not get alot for your home but they buy them fast, and in cash. Try:

Determine if livability is curable or incurable.
If curable determine a cost to cure.
Reduce the cost of the home 10-15% from its market value, then reduce again by the cost to cure.
The 10-15% is the discount for the inconveniance of having to cure a problem.
Or cure the livability and sell at full price.
If uncurable sell it as is for the value of the land. |

sell it as a "fixer-uper" for a handiman...or if it has been condemned by your county they you'll have to pay for it to be torn down and then only sell the land and you can list that land with a realtor (although land is very slow, for the most part, to sell, sometimes it sits there for ten years or more). Or maybe you can sell that land to the neighbors living next to that land. Ask them if they want to expand their property, maybe you can leave the unlivable house there and they can reinforce it and put their equipment in there. To sell it you may have to go to a real estate attorney who could write up a contract (so you're covered and the buyers know what they are exactly getting into, buying and so that you protect yourself against suit). |

There are several companies out there that buy houses 'as is'. Webuyuglyhouses.com is one of them. They take the states market value and deduct what it will take to get it up to par so you won't get as much as hoped, however they will get more from it once they fix it up. And you'll get out from under it. |

The best way is to set it up by saying something like. A Craftsman's dream fixer upper. You would be surprised on how man people are looking for something to fix up. Say something like a home in need of some real TLC. People eat it up. |

Sell it to the We Buy Ugly Houses people, they do the fixing up and you get rid of it. |

what do mean by unlivable? infested with rats or falling apart....
if it's on a good piece of land, then you can attract investors or builders.... |

Your best bet is to tear it down and sell the lot. With the market the way it is all the others depend on finding just the right person, a lot appeals to many people |

Nothing material in this world can't be sold. Advertise it.. Definitley someone would have a better idea on it. |

Um, are you serious? If a house is deemed uninhabitable, you wouldn't be able to sell it at all. The municipality, county, state, what have you wouldn't allow it. |

Dress up each room into a different Halloween theme; gather up all of your friends dressed in Halloween costumes; charge admission and scared the dickens out of people. After Halloween, pick one of the many suggestions already offered. |

Advertise it as a "Handyman Special". Don't even mention "Unlivable" anywhere. Good Luck. |

What is unliveable to one family may be a blessing to another. Some defects are easily correctable.
Every property has value to some person. It may be difficult to get a loan, however.
A real estate broker will be willing to sell any property. |

Make it livable or sell it for really cheap in the newspaper. A guy was just selliong one a couple of months ago, where I live, for $4,000, and sure enough, it was taken by the end of the week! Some people like to do fixer-uppers! |

It definately couldn't be sold for anywhere market value.
It would have to be cheep and someone would have to buy it on the pretenses that it was a project. If you sell it to someone as livable it will come back to bite you in the booty!
So sell it as a project only to someone that knows all the work that will have to go into it...some money is better than no money. |
