We Buy Houses in Irondequoit, NY

Selling a house in Irondequoit

Irondequoit sits on the strip of land between Irondequoit Bay and the Genesee River, with Lake Ontario at the top and the city at the bottom. About 51,000 people live there, and the town is coterminous — it has no villages inside it.

Its housing history is unusually concentrated. Irondequoit was the first suburb in Monroe County to absorb families moving out of Rochester, and its population more than doubled between 1940 and 1960, growing from roughly 23,000 to over 55,000. It stayed the county's most populous suburb until Greece overtook it in the 1970s.

The result is a town where an enormous share of the housing stock was built in the same two decades and is therefore reaching the same milestones together. Second or third roofs, replacement furnaces now themselves aging, original baths, and lot sizes smaller than the outer towns because the land was subdivided when it was still cheap to build close.

Two things follow for sellers. First, comparable sales are genuinely comparable here in a way they are not in a mixed town, so an after-repair value is easy to establish and hard to argue with. Second, a house that has had nothing done since the 1970s is a full renovation rather than a project, and the financed buyer pool for it is small.

• An inherited house — long-held family houses are a large share of what sells here.
