How to sell your house fast in New York

Speed usually costs some price. Here's how the three main routes compare, and what New York cash buyers promise on their own websites.

Route	Time to close	Price	Best for
Local cash buyer ("we buy houses")	Often 1–3 weeks; many advertise 7 days	Below market; varies widely by buyer	Repairs, inherited homes, tight deadlines
iBuyer	Usually a few weeks; you pick the date	Closer to market for newer homes, minus a service fee	Newer homes in good condition
Listing with an agent	Longest: showings plus buyer financing	Usually the highest price	When you have time and the home shows well

17
New York buyers advertise closing in 7 days or less
46
say they buy as-is, with no repairs
12
say they pay closing costs

These are claims from company websites, not verified results. A fast closing only helps if the price holds: iBuyers active here include Opendoor. See the best national cash buyers and how to sell as-is without getting lowballed.

Before you sign with any New York cash buyer

Earnest money
A real buyer puts down a meaningful deposit with a title company, not $10.
Short inspection window
A long "due diligence" period lets a buyer walk away or cut the price later.
No price cuts at closing
Ask what happens to the price after inspection. Get it in writing.
Who's really buying
Ask if they plan to assign your contract to another investor.
Proof of funds
A cash buyer should show proof they can pay, on request.
No pressure
"Sign today or the offer's gone" is a red flag.
A lawsuit can cloud your title
In New York, a buyer suing to force a sale you backed out of can record a notice of pendency against the home, under N.Y. C.P.L.R. §§ 6501–6515. Read the terms for backing out before you sign.

Have an offer? Check the actual purchase contract for assignment rights, inspection deadlines, and other terms before you sign.

What is a lis pendens in New York?

A lis pendens is a public notice, recorded in a county's property records, that a lawsuit involving the property is pending. In New York it is called a notice of pendency, under N.Y. C.P.L.R. §§ 6501–6515. Lasts 3 years from filing. The court can extend it 3 years at a time for good cause if the extension is filed before it expires. The court must cancel it if service isn't timely, the case is settled or dismissed, or the filer loses. It may cancel for bad faith, or if the owner posts a court-set bond (not in foreclosure or partition). Parties can also cancel by stipulation.

Source: N.Y. C.P.L.R. §§ 6501–6515

Is selling to a cash buyer a good idea?

It can be when speed and certainty matter more than price, for example with an inherited house, major repairs, or a tight deadline. Cash offers are usually below full market value, so compare several offers and read the contract before you sign.
