Opendoor alternatives: what fits your reason?

The right Opendoor alternative depends on why Opendoor does not fit. If your house needs major work or is very old, a buyer that buys as-is may fit. If you want several offers, an offer service fits. If you want the most money and can wait, a listing agent often fits. Each reason below lists the options that fit.

Why are you looking beyond Opendoor?

Pick your reason. Each one jumps to the options that fit it. Options are listed in alphabetical order, and Propcash appears only where its facts fit.

Reason 1

Your house needs major work

Opendoor says homes with major structural damage, serious foundation issues, or fire, severe water damage, or mold throughout are typically not eligible.1 For homes it does buy, repair credits come out of the offer.2

Opendoor itself says a "we buy houses" company may fit when your home needs major repairs you can't or don't want to manage before selling.3 These buyers say they buy as-is.

Reason 2

Your home is very old

Opendoor says very old homes, pre-1930 in some markets, may not qualify.1

Offerpad typically will not buy homes built before 1950, so it may not fit either.10 These buyers do not list a build-year limit on the pages we checked.

Reason 3

Opendoor does not buy your home

Opendoor does not buy in all markets.1 Its help center says it buys in every postal code in the lower 48 states with single-family homes.11 It does not buy mobile or manufactured homes, buildings with 5 or more units, commercial properties, or homes on large acreage.1

If you are in Alaska or Hawaii, or your home is a type Opendoor does not buy, these options fit.

Reason 4

You want several offers to compare

Opendoor makes one offer. Its own alternatives page says: "If both are available in your market, request offers from both," meaning Opendoor and Offerpad.3

These services collect offers from more than one buyer, and you pick one.

Reason 5

You want the most money and can wait

Opendoor's own alternatives page says a traditional listing can produce a higher gross sale price than an Opendoor offer in a strong seller's market.3

A listing usually takes longer and costs more in fees, so compare what you keep, not the sale price.

  • A listing agent

    Commonly 5% to 6% in commission plus about 2% to 3% in closing costs, and typically 30 to 60 days.17
