Somerset County housing by the numbers
- 349,846
- Residents
- $552,100
- Median home value
- 1982
- Typical home built
- 74.3%
- Owner-occupied homes
Somerset County's median year built is 1982, so an older roof or heating system can be a real concern when you sell. With 74.3% of homes owner-occupied, many sellers are sorting out repairs in the same house they still live in. The median home value of $552,100 doesn't tell you what your house will bring with water damage or an outdated interior. We look at your property's condition and give you a cash price for it as it stands.

The kinds of Somerset County houses we buy
Somerset County has older borough houses in places like Raritan and Somerville, along with ranches, split-levels and larger colonial homes in Bridgewater and Hillsborough. An older house may have plaster walls and plumbing that has been patched over the years. A suburban home may look fine from the street while needing new windows, a furnace or a roof. You don't have to finish those projects before asking for an offer.
We buy detached houses, townhouses and rental properties across the county. Tell us about the basement seepage, the deck you no longer use or the kitchen that hasn't changed since you moved in. Those details help us price the work. You can leave unwanted belongings behind and take what matters to you. There is no cleaning requirement and no closing costs.
The Somerset County situations we buy in
Water damage in Manville
Flooding has hit homes in Manville. If your house has damaged drywall, damp storage space or a basement you dread checking after heavy rain, you can sell it in its current condition. We account for the damage when we make the offer. You don't need to rebuild the downstairs first.
An older borough house
Your Somerville or Raritan house may have plenty of character and a repair list you can't afford. Drafty windows and aging pipes can turn getting ready to list into months of work. Show us what needs attention. We buy the house with those problems included, so you can put the contractor estimates aside.
Too much house to maintain
A colonial in Hillsborough or Bridgewater can feel too big once the children move out. Keeping up with the yard and carrying laundry between floors gets old. If you want a smaller place, we can buy without asking you to update every room. Choose a settlement date that gives you room to pack.
Behind on the mortgage
New Jersey mortgage foreclosures go through court. In Somerset County, the sheriff advertises a property for four weeks before the auction. If payments have slipped, call early and tell us the sale date if you have one. Selling before the auction pays off the lender at settlement and stops the sale.
An inherited home full of belongings
Sorting a family home while dealing with a loss is hard enough without a renovation. You can get an offer before emptying the closets or deciding what to do with every piece of furniture. We buy as-is and arrange settlement once the estate paperwork is ready for the sale.
A rental you want to leave behind
If your Franklin Township rental needs work or you're tired of handling calls about repairs, we can buy it with tenants still living there. Tell us about the lease and the condition of the house. We work through the change with you, without making a vacant property a requirement for an offer.
How selling for cash works in Somerset County
Call us or fill out the form with your Somerset County address. We review the house and send a cash offer within 24 hours. When you accept, a title company handles settlement, checks the title and arranges the lender payoff. You choose the date. We can close in 30 days or less, and you can choose a later date if your move needs more time.
Foreclosure here goes through court. The lender files a case, the court's final judgment sets the amount owed, and a court order lets the sheriff sell the house. Somerset County holds sheriff sales every Tuesday at 2 p.m. in the Commissioners Meeting Room on the third floor of the County Administration Building, 20 Grove Street in Somerville.
The county advertises each property in the Courier-News on Thursdays for four weeks before the sale. If you have a sale date, send us the notice when you contact us. If we buy the house first, the lender is paid off at settlement and the sheriff sale is cancelled. The earlier you reach out, the more room there is to make that work.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form or give us a call. Share the address, the condition and what's going on. That's all we need to get started.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or later if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.
Run the numbers on a Somerset County sale
Our cash offer will come in under what your house would list for. Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting up a renegotiation after you have already committed.
What counts is what you walk away with. The median home in Somerset County is worth about $552,100. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $33,126 before you pay for a single repair. Add whatever the buyer's inspection asks you to fix, plus months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it sits. Then put our number next to that.
Sometimes listing still comes out ahead, and when it does, you should list. We'd rather tell you that than buy a house you end up wishing you had kept on the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
Our promise to you
What you can hold us to when you sell
You deal with Mal from the first call to closing day. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The number holds
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough turns up something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
A contract you can read
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family, and ask us about any line before you sign.
You pick the date
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we can't make it, we'll say so right then, before you've committed to anything.
The truth, even if we lose the deal
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we'll tell you. Some people don't need a cash buyer, and we'd rather you hear that from us.
