Sell your house fast in Aubrey

How selling to us works in Aubrey

The Aubrey market, by the numbers

From our own transaction records and HUD data for Aubrey ZIP codes. Updated 2026-09-18.

The typical Aubrey home we look at was built in 2021, which means roof age, original electrical, and HVAC are the items that most often blow up a retail contract after inspection. We buy those as-is and price the repairs into the offer instead of asking you to make them.

HUD sets Fair Market Rent for a 3-bedroom in Aubrey at $3,110/month. That number is why we can pay cash here: many of these homes work as long-term rentals for us, so we are not dependent on reselling quickly to make the numbers work.

Newer stock, so condition is rarely the story

Roof, wiring and structure generally are not the issue on recent construction. What we see instead is an equity problem.

If you owe close to value, a sale may not be the answer

We will tell you that on the first call rather than let you spend two weeks discovering it.

What the Aubrey market is doing right now

Whole-market figures for every Aubrey ZIP code we buy in, from the Restar housing database · August 2026. These are not our numbers — they cover every sale in the ZIP, not just ours.

Listings in Aubrey are moving faster than a year ago — a median of 61 days to go under contract, 7 days quicker, and that is only the clock until it goes under contract — a financed buyer then needs another 30 to 45 days to close, assuming their loan holds. If the house is in retail condition and you are not against a deadline, listing it is a real option and we will say so.

Houses here are closing at a median 0.97 of asking price, so the list price sellers start at is not the number they end at. Factor that into any comparison between a cash offer and what an agent projects you will net.

Home values across these ZIP codes are 7.3% lower than a year ago. On a vacant or inherited property that is a second cost running alongside taxes, insurance and utilities while you decide.

Median rent of $1,856 against a median sale price of $330,857 is a gross yield near 6.7%. That is the honest reason we can pay cash in Aubrey: many of these houses work as rentals for us, so we are not dependent on reselling quickly.

Aubrey inside Denton County

Where a market sits relative to its county tells you which buyers can afford it and how long they take to commit. Here is Denton County against the Aubrey ZIP codes specifically.

The Aubrey ZIP codes we buy in run 24% below the Denton County median of $435,532. That gap is the reason a countywide price per square foot is useless for pricing your house, and it is why our offers are underwritten by ZIP.

County-wide, the median sale price is +1.3% against a year ago.

What we actually buy in Aubrey

Aubrey is the youngest market in our footprint by a wide margin. The typical house we look at here was built in 2021 and runs about 2,150 square feet - four bedrooms, builder-grade finishes, and almost certainly still under a municipal utility district assessment.

That changes the problem completely. Nothing is worn out. What competes with you is the builder down the road, who can offer a rate buy-down and closing-cost credits that a private seller cannot match. Values in 76227 are around 7% below a year ago, the steepest decline anywhere we buy, and there are over 650 homes listed in this ZIP alone.

So be clear-eyed about what a cash offer is for here. If your house is three years old, clean, and you have time, list it - and price it against the builder incentives, not against what your neighbour paid in 2022. We will tell you that on the call.

Where we are genuinely useful in Aubrey is the situations time cannot fix: a relocation with a start date, a divorce that needs a clean split, a second mortgage or MUD balance that makes the retail math not work, or an investor exit on a rental that is not carrying itself. In those cases the certainty is the product, not the price.

What it costs to sell a house in Aubrey

We do not yet publish a recorded-sales median for Aubrey, so this is expressed as rates rather than dollars — we would rather show you a true percentage than a made-up price. Multiply by whatever your house is worth.

How to work out your net proceeds in Aubrey

Net proceeds = sale price − mortgage payoff − closing costs − commissions − repairs and concessions

On a Texas listing that is roughly 7.5 to 9.5 per cent of the price gone before the payoff comes out. A cash offer starts below retail but carries none of those five deductions, which is why the two routes land closer together than the headline numbers suggest.

Customary rates, not a quote on your property. Commission is negotiable, and county and municipal add-ons vary within Texas. See the full cash offer versus listing comparison.

How a closing actually works in Texas

Texas closings run through a title company, and the state has no income tax but comparatively high property tax, so prorations at closing are a bigger line than sellers expect. Note that we do not currently text into Texas — see the note in our SMS Terms.

On our side the sequence is the same every time: title search, payoff figures ordered on any existing mortgage, liens and municipal balances identified, then funds and deed recorded. Nothing about a cash sale skips title work — what it skips is the lender, the appraisal and the financing contingency, which is where most retail contracts on Aubrey houses actually die.

What Texas law requires when you sell

Every row below is a statute rather than our opinion, and each one links to the primary source so you can check it yourself. These are also the items that most often delay a closing in Aubrey.

Disclosure

Texas requires a written Seller's Disclosure Notice on most sales of a single dwelling unit, delivered on or before the effective date of the contract. Estates, foreclosures and transfers between co-owners are exempt.

Transfer tax

Texas also has no state income tax. The cost that does bite here is property tax proration, because the rates are among the highest in the country.

Who closes the file

Texas closings are conducted by a title company and no attorney is required. The title company runs the search, issues the policy and disburses funds.

Tax on the gain

Texas has no state income tax, so only federal capital gains rules apply. Federally, the primary-residence exclusion shelters up to $250,000 of gain if you are single and $500,000 if you are married filing jointly, provided you owned and lived in the house for two of the last five years — see IRS Topic 701. An inherited property takes a stepped-up basis at the date of death, which usually means little or no taxable gain if you sell soon after.

General information about Texas practice, current as of 2026-09-18. It is not legal or tax advice, and rates set at county or municipal level vary within the state. Your closing agent, attorney or CPA is the authority on your file.

Common questions from Aubrey sellers

My house is only a few years old. Why would I sell to a cash buyer?

Usually you should not — a newer home in good condition belongs on the open market. The exception is a deadline, a divorce, or a relocation where certainty beats the last few percent.

What if I owe close to what it is worth?

Then a sale may not be the right move, and we will say so on the first call. There is no version of this where we let you waste two weeks finding that out.

What is the transfer tax when I sell a house in Texas?

There is not one. None — Texas levies no real estate transfer tax. Texas also has no state income tax. The cost that does bite here is property tax proration, because the rates are among the highest in the country.

Do I need an attorney to close in Texas?

No. Texas closings are conducted by a title company and no attorney is required. The title company runs the search, issues the policy and disburses funds.

What do I have to disclose when selling a house in Texas?

Texas requires a written Seller's Disclosure Notice on most sales of a single dwelling unit, delivered on or before the effective date of the contract. Estates, foreclosures and transfers between co-owners are exempt. The citation is Tex. Prop. Code § 5.008. Selling as-is does not remove the obligation — it changes who pays for the repair, not whether you have to mention it.

How much does it cost to sell a house in Aubrey?

Between about 7.5% and 9.5% of the sale price on the listing route: roughly 5.5% in agent commission, $1,500 to $2,500 in title and settlement fees, about 1% in buyer concessions and 1% or more in pre-listing repairs. A cash sale to us carries none of it.

What percentage of my home's value will a cash buyer offer?

There is no fixed percentage, and any buyer quoting one before seeing the property is guessing. The offer is after-repair value, minus repairs, minus holding and resale costs, minus the buyer's margin. Repairs is the line that moves most: a house needing only cosmetics lands far higher than one needing a roof and mechanicals. Ask any buyer to walk you through all four lines on your specific property.

Can I sell if I owe more than the house is worth?

Sometimes, through a short sale, but that needs your lender's written approval and takes months rather than days. We will tell you on the first call if that is what you are looking at, rather than let you find out two weeks in.

Can I really sell my house as-is?

Yes. We buy in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no staging — and you can leave behind anything you do not want. As-is changes who pays for the work, not what you are required to disclose about it.

What does a 'cash offer' actually mean?

That the purchase is funded without a mortgage, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no financing contingency. That is the whole of the advantage: financing falling through is the most common reason a residential sale collapses, and it cannot happen on a cash purchase.

How do I know your offer is fair?

Check it against the recorded sales published on this page and against the four-line calculation above it. We show you the comps the number came from. If listing would net you more, we will say so — that conversation is faster for both of us than the alternative.

What fees or commissions will I pay?

None. There is no agent commission, no listing fee, and we cover standard closing costs. The number on the offer is what you net, minus any existing mortgage payoff or liens.

Am I obligated to accept the offer?

No. The offer is written, free, and yours to walk away from. We would rather you compare it against a listing than feel pushed into it.
