We Buy Houses in Pittsford, NY

Selling a house in Pittsford

Pittsford has around 30,000 residents across the town and the Village of Pittsford, which sits on the Erie Canal and has its own government. As in Webster and Fairport, that means two jurisdictions: a village property's permits, open violations and municipal searches go to the village office, not the town, and they come back on their own timetable.

The housing splits sharply. The village core and the streets nearest it carry nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century houses — canal-era Federals and Victorians, and 1920s colonials — with plaster walls, original windows, knob-and-tube in the older ones, and boilers nearing the end of a long life. The town outside the village is largely 1960s through 1990s subdivisions on larger lots, with the second-systems problems of that era rather than the structural ones of the village.

Pittsford's high values create a specific trap. Owners assume a house worth this much sells easily, but a 1900 village house that has not been updated since the 1970s carries a renovation cost that is not proportional to a suburban ranch, and financed buyers back out when the inspection surfaces plaster, wiring, a slate roof and a boiler at once. That is the situation we are called about most in Pittsford, and it is a pricing question, not a marketing one.

Common reasons Pittsford homeowners call us

• An inherited house — long-held family homes, often with heirs out of the area and probate not yet open.
• A house that needs major repairs — village-era houses where several large items come due together.
• A house that did not sell — listings that fell apart at inspection or appraisal.

How it works
