Ellis County housing by the numbers
- 213,160
- Residents
- $348,600
- Median home value
- 2002
- Typical home built
- 75.8%
- Owner-occupied homes
About 76% of Ellis County homes are lived in by their owners, so many sellers here are leaving a house they've kept up themselves. The typical house was built around 2002, which means even a fairly new one may be due for a new air conditioner or roof. Getting a house ready to list costs real money, and you don't have to spend it to sell to us.

The kinds of Ellis County houses we buy
Ellis County has more than one kind of house. Around the older parts of Waxahachie and Ennis, you'll find frame homes with porches and brick houses on established streets. Midlothian and Red Oak have subdivision homes with attached garages and bigger floor plans. Out near Maypearl or Avalon, a house may come with a long driveway, a detached shop or more yard than you want to mow. Tell us about the whole property, including the parts that need attention.
An older home can have patched plumbing, uneven floors or a kitchen that hasn't changed since you moved in. A newer house can still have water stains, a failing air conditioner or damage a tenant left behind. We look at the house as it stands and put the work into our price. You don't hire anyone to finish the bathroom or empty the garage first. We buy occupied homes and empty ones, including houses with belongings still inside.
The Ellis County situations we buy in
An older home in Waxahachie or Ennis
The porch needs paint, the windows stick, and every room has another project waiting. Fixing an old house a little at a time wears you down. We can buy it with the original cabinets and unfinished repairs. You take what you want, and we deal with what's left.
Storm damage you haven't repaired
Ellis County gets severe weather, and a damaged roof turns into stained ceilings and wet insulation. If wind or hail hit your house, show us the damage as it is. You don't need to put a new roof on a house you already want to leave. We build the repairs into our offer.
More property than you want to maintain
A home outside Maypearl, Palmer or Italy may have been right when you wanted room outdoors. Now the fence needs fixing, the outbuilding leaks, and the yard eats your weekends. We buy houses with extra land and outbuildings. Tell us what comes with the house and we'll look at it together.
Behind on the mortgage
In Texas, most foreclosures skip the courtroom, and the sale can happen 21 days after the notice goes out. The auction is on the first Tuesday of the month. Send us your notice and address early. If we close before the auction, your lender is paid off at closing and the sale is stopped.
An inherited house full of belongings
You may be sorting family paperwork while the house sits untouched. You don't have to spend weekends clearing closets or hauling furniture. We can look at the house with everything inside and make an offer. The title company checks the ownership paperwork, so closing happens when the people selling are able to sign.
A rental you want to sell
If you manage a rental in Red Oak or Ferris from another town, even a small repair means another trip. We buy rentals with tenants still living there. Tell us about the lease and any unpaid rent, and we'll talk through the tenant situation with you before you decide on our offer.
How selling for cash works in Ellis County
Start with a call or the form and tell us about your Ellis County house. We look it over and send an offer within 24 hours. If you say yes, a title company handles closing and pays off your lender from the sale proceeds. You pick the date. We can close in 30 days or less, or give you more time to pack. There are no closing costs for you.
Texas lenders don't have to go to court to foreclose. Under a deed of trust, a trustee can auction the house at the county courthouse. In Ellis County that is the historic courthouse at 101 West Main Street in Waxahachie. Auctions are held on the first Tuesday of the month, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. When that Tuesday falls on January 1 or July 4, the sale moves to Wednesday.
The notice has to be posted at the courthouse, filed with the county clerk and mailed to you by certified mail at least 21 days before the auction. Ellis County also posts foreclosure notices on its website. If you get one, send it to us. If we buy the house before the auction, the lender is paid off at closing and the sale is stopped. Three weeks goes fast, so reach out early.
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 Ellis 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 Ellis County is worth about $348,600. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $20,916 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.
