What Higher Mortgage Rates Mean for Sellers
When rates go up, buyers lose buying power. A 1% increase can cut affordability by tens of thousands of dollars. That means:
- Fewer buyers in the market
- Lower offers
- More failed financing
- Slower closing timelines
If you're selling through a realtor, your home might sit on the market longer than expected. Even if you get an offer, the buyer may not get approved or they may ask for repairs, price drops, or delays.
Why Financing Is a Risk for Sellers
Traditional home sales rely on buyers getting mortgage approval. And in a high-rate environment, that's risky.
Buyers can get denied. Lenders may require extra inspections. Appraisals may come in low. Any of these steps can delay or derail your closing.
Selling to a cash buyer removes that risk. There's no bank, no financing process, and no chance of the deal falling apart because of loan issues.

What Sellers Say
“They made it easy from day one.”
We inherited a home we didn’t want to keep. RealtyZoom gave us a solid offer and closed quickly.
“No repairs, no stress.”
I didn’t have the budget to fix the house for listing. Selling as-is saved me thousands.
“The process was fast and fair.”
I called (904) 677-5440, got an offer within 24 hours, and we closed the next week. Couldn’t have been easier.

What Selling for Cash Looks Like
Here's how our home-buying process works:
- You tell us about the property. No photos, open houses, or prep work needed.
- We review and give you an offer. Based on the house condition, local market, and resale costs.
- You choose your closing date. Fast or flexible-your choice.
We handle the paperwork and close on your timeline.
You Don’t Need to Make Repairs
If your house needs work, listing it traditionally becomes even harder. Most financed buyers want move-in-ready homes. Lenders may not approve loans on properties with:
- Roof damage
- Plumbing or electrical issues
- Foundation problems
- Outdated systems
With RealtyZoom, you skip the fix-it list. We buy houses in Florida exactly as they are. You don’t need to spend a dollar to sell.
How to Sell When You Still Have a Mortgage
Yes, you can sell a house with an active mortgage even with high rates. Here’s what to know:
- Your loan gets paid off at closing. The buyer (in this case, us) pays the title company, which settles your loan.
- You keep any remaining equity. After the mortgage is paid, the rest goes to you.
- No penalties. Most loans have no early payoff fee, but check with your lender to confirm.
We work with sellers in every mortgage stage, from current payments to behind-on-mortgage situations.
Real Numbers, Real Offers
Our cash offers are based on:
- The home's current condition
- Local market values
- Projected repair costs
- Time and labor required for resale
We explain the math so you can make an informed decision. There’s no obligation and no pressure.
Why Waiting Might Cost You More
Trying to time the market usually backfires. If rates rise again or prices dip, you may end up with:
- Lower offers later
- More holding costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance)
- Stress from ongoing showings
Selling now to a cash buyer avoids months of uncertainty. You can close quickly and use the funds to move forward.
