We buy houses in Hampton, VA
Sell your house fast in Hampton, VA, for cash and as-is.
Hampton has about 137,000 people and a lot of older homes sitting on the water, near the base, or on streets where nothing has been updated in decades. We buy them for cash, as-is, from Buckroe and Phoebus to Fox Hill, Wythe and Coliseum Central.
Maybe it's a bungalow that flooded last storm season, a rental near Langley you're tired of managing, or a parent's house in Aberdeen that nobody has the energy to clear out. Send us the address and you'll have a cash number within 24 hours. You don't fix anything, clean anything or pay an agent.

Hampton housing by the numbers
- 137,557
- Residents
- $245,700
- Median home value
- 1974
- Typical home built
- 56.9%
- Owner-occupied homes
The typical Hampton house went up around 1974. That is old enough that the original plumbing, wiring and windows are tired, and most roofs have been replaced once already. About 57 percent of homes are owner-occupied, so a good share of the city rents, and we talk to plenty of landlords. None of those repairs need to happen before you sell to us.

The kinds of Hampton houses we buy
Most of what we see in Hampton is brick and vinyl-sided ranches and split-levels from the 1950s through the 1970s, small cottages near Buckroe Beach and Phoebus, and townhomes and condos closer to the water. Older houses tend to need the same things: a tired roof, galvanized or old copper plumbing, outdated electrical panels, crawl spaces with moisture problems and heat pumps past their years. Houses near the Bay and the creeks also pick up water damage, and flood insurance quotes scare off a lot of ordinary buyers.
We buy all of it. Condition changes the price, not whether we make an offer. That includes ranches, cottages, townhomes, duplexes, military rentals and houses with a flooded first floor. It also includes the ones that have sat empty long enough for a neighbor to call the city.
We buy Hampton houses in any condition
Leave the cleanup, the repairs and anything you don't want to us. We took these photos on real walkthroughs, and this is the condition we buy houses in.
The Hampton situations we buy in
Flood damage and a flood zone
Hampton sits on the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads, and storm surge and heavy rain reach a lot of streets. A house with water damage, mold or a bad flood insurance rate is hard to list the normal way. We price the repair into our offer and buy the house as it is.
Military orders and PCS moves
With Langley and Fort Monroe close by, plenty of owners get orders on short notice. If you have to leave and can't keep paying for a house on the market, we can close in 30 days or less, or on the date your move needs.
A house you inherited
If the house came to you from a parent or grandparent, you don't have to clear it out, fix it up or list it. We can make an offer now and close once the estate paperwork lets you sign.
Behind on the mortgage
Virginia lenders usually foreclose without going to court. The lender's trustee advertises the sale, and an owner living in the home gets a certified letter at least 60 days before the sale date. If you're behind, call early. Selling before the sale date pays off the lender at closing.
The rental you're done with
Hampton has a large renter base and a lot of landlords who inherited a duplex or bought one years ago. If the tenant stopped paying, the unit needs work between leases, or you just want out, we buy rentals with the tenants still living there and work out a plan for them with you.
Code violations and city letters
Overgrown yards, a collapsing fence, boarded windows on an empty house. Fines pile up and most buyers want them cleared before closing. We buy houses with open violations and deal with the city ourselves after we close.
How selling for cash works in Hampton
Here is how a cash sale works in Hampton. You call or send the form, we look at the house and send a cash offer within 24 hours, and if you say yes, a title company handles the settlement. You pick the closing date, and we can close in 30 days or less.
If you're behind on your mortgage, timing matters more. Virginia lenders usually foreclose without going to court. The lender's trustee runs the sale notice in the newspaper, and the sale can be held no sooner than 8 days after the first notice. If you live in the house, the lender also has to mail you the notice by certified or registered mail at least 60 days before the sale.
That leaves a window once the letter shows up. If we buy the house before the sale, the lender is paid off at closing and the sale stops. The earlier you reach out, the more room there is to make this work.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Call us or fill out the short form. Give us the address and tell us about the condition of the house and your situation. That is enough to start.
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. Closing in 30 days or less is possible, and a later date is fine if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.

September 2026: what the Hampton city, VA market looks like

In September 2026, 413 houses were listed in Hampton city, VA, up 17% compared with last year. Half were priced above $320,000 and half below, and the typical house had been listed for 40 days. About 1 in 4 sellers lowered the price they were asking that month.
Those 40 days measure time after the listing starts. Before that, repairs and cleanup can take weeks. Afterward, the buyer's lender may need about a month to finish closing. Listing may bring you the highest price if the house is updated and you have time to wait. A cash sale lets you skip that wait when the property needs repairs, is tenant occupied, or you need to sell sooner. Ask us for a cash price to compare with a listing.

Run the numbers on a Hampton sale
Expect a cash price below what you would ask when listing the house. A buyer who promises otherwise is preparing to lower the offer after you commit.
Start with what you would keep from the sale. In Hampton, the median home value is about $245,700. At that price, a six percent commission takes $14,742, with repair bills still to come. Count the repairs the buyer asks for after the inspection. Add months of mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance and utilities while you wait to sell. Then compare what is left with our cash price.
Listing can still leave you with more money. When it does, listing is the right choice. We want to tell you that upfront so you do not sell to us and later regret taking the house off 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"

A contract you can read
We use plain English in our purchase agreement. Bring it home for your family to read. Before signing, ask us to explain any part you have questions about.
