Why St. Pete owners bring us the hard houses
Nearly 16,000 St. Petersburg homes took damage from Helene and Milton (St. Pete Catalyst), and the city's substantial-damage rules mean many can't simply be patched. Whatever state yours is in, gutted, repaired, or untouched, we make a real offer on it.
- Flood-damaged, wind-damaged, or pristine: one process, one honest number for each
- We know the 49% substantial-damage math and price around it, openly
- Bungalow to block ranch to waterfront, our comps come from your streets
From storm-weary to sold, the St. Pete way
Tell us the house's story
Took water in Helene? Gutted to the studs? Or untouched and just time to go? Two minutes of questions, and every version of the story is workable.
Get a number that respects the situation
We pull real Pinellas sales, factor repairs or the substantial-damage picture at contractor rates, and send a written offer with the reasoning attached.
Close before anything else changes
No lender, no appraisal, no insurance binder needed. A local title company can close in as few as 7 days, or whenever your rebuild-or-move decision lands.
Example shown for illustration only, not a real offer. Every offer is based on the house and its local market.
Every corner of the Sunshine City
Brick streets in Old Northeast, bungalows in Kenwood, canals in Shore Acres and Coquina Key, block ranches in Disston Heights: Propcash buys across all of St. Petersburg and its Pinellas neighbors.
Hurricane-marked houses need a buyer who does the math
Helene's record surge and Milton's winds left thousands of St. Pete houses in every state between soggy and stripped. Financed buyers can't touch most of them. We can, and we show our work.

The St. Pete market after the storms, plainly
Two markets wearing one zip code
St. Petersburg's median sale price ran about $495,000 as of March 2026 with homes taking roughly 52 median days (Redfin, March 2026), while Zillow's typical value sits far below at $374,789 (Zillow, May 2026). That gap is the story: what's closing skews toward renovated and elevated homes, while the typical house, especially one with a storm file, trades in a much tougher lane. We price your house in its actual lane and show you the comps that prove it.
Helene, Milton, and the 49% rule
September 2024's Hurricane Helene pushed the largest storm surge on record into Shore Acres, its fourth flood event in four years, and Milton followed within weeks; together they damaged nearly 16,000 homes citywide (St. Pete Catalyst). Under the city's substantial-damage rules, repairs reaching 49% of a home's pre-damage value trigger full flood-code compliance, elevation or rebuild. For many owners that math turns repair into a project they never signed up for. Selling as-is to a buyer who underwrites that exact math is the other path.
A century of housing, a decade of reckoning
The Sunshine City built brick-street bungalow districts in the 1920s (Kenwood's National Register district holds homes from 1912 to 1945), block ranches at mid-century, and dredged canal-front neighborhoods after that. Each era now meets a different reckoning: century-old systems in the bungalows, insurance repricing on the ranches, and surge maps redrawn under the waterfront stock. The city is investing, including a $33 million Shore Acres flood-mitigation project, and owners are deciding street by street whether to stay for it.
Condos after SB 4-D
Florida's post-Surfside safety law requires milestone structural inspections and funded reserves for older multi-story buildings, and the resulting assessments are landing on St. Pete's condo owners now. Units in older buildings face a widening gap between what owners hoped and what the association paperwork supports. We buy condos with the milestone report and assessment schedule in hand, priced transparently.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.
St. Pete sellers we work with, week in and week out
After the last two seasons, none of these stories are unusual here. Neither is the exit.
The house took water, again
A repetitive-loss address and no appetite for the next repair cycle. We buy on the facts of the structure, and the decision is finally behind you.
Stalled at the studs
Insurance paid some, the contractor left, and the permits are aging. We buy mid-rebuild projects exactly where they stand.
The 49% letter changed everything
Substantial damage means elevate or rebuild, not repaint. If that project isn't yours to take on, our offer already accounts for it.
Inherited a bungalow with a past
A Kenwood classic with knob-and-tube and three generations of stories. We handle the probate pace and the cleanout both.
The condo board's new math
Milestone inspection, reserve study, special assessment. Sell the unit with the paperwork on the table and the outcome certain.
Loved it here, leaving anyway
Sometimes it's just time, storm or no storm. One walkthrough, one written number, one date on the calendar.
The Propcash Promise
After two hurricane seasons of contractors and adjusters, the last thing you need is sales pressure. You won't get any here, in writing.
No expiration date
Take all the time you need to consider an offer, we'll never push a hard deadline.
No aggressive follow up
We follow up on your schedule. We'll never send unsolicited marketing emails, drip campaigns, or phone blasts.
We'll tell you if we're not the right buyer
If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Real questions from St. Petersburg sellers
Do you actually buy storm-damaged houses, or is that marketing?
We actually buy them, in every condition: flooded and dried out, gutted to block, mid-rebuild, or fully repaired with a disclosure history. Storm-affected purchases are a core part of our St. Petersburg work, and the offer letter shows how the damage figured into the number.
What is the 49% rule and how does it affect my sale?
St. Petersburg applies the national flood-program substantial-damage standard at 49%: if cumulative repairs reach 49% of your home's pre-damage market value, the house must be brought into full flood-code compliance, typically elevated or rebuilt, not just repaired. If your damage assessment crossed that line, selling as-is transfers the compliance project to us; we price it like the rebuild economics it is and show you that math.
My house flooded but I repaired everything. Why do buyers still hesitate?
Because Florida disclosure follows the address: prior flooding must be disclosed in any sale, and financed buyers' insurers quote accordingly. A well-documented repair history helps our offer, so share it. We underwrite what was actually fixed rather than walking at the word flood.
Which neighborhoods do you cover?
All of St. Petersburg: Old Northeast, Kenwood, Crescent Lake, Shore Acres, Riviera Bay, Snell Isle, Coquina Key, Disston Heights, Pinellas Point, and the rest of the 33701 through 33713 zips, plus Gulfport, Pinellas Park, and Lealman next door.
Can you buy my condo with a special assessment pending?
Yes. Florida's milestone-inspection and reserve rules are producing assessments across older St. Pete buildings, and we buy units with those obligations disclosed. Bring the milestone report and the assessment schedule; the offer will account for them explicitly rather than pretending they don't exist.
I'm still mid-insurance-claim. Can I sell?
Often yes, with your attorney or adjuster in the loop. Claims can sometimes be settled before closing or assigned as part of the sale, and we've structured both. Tell us where the claim stands and we'll map the cleanest route.
What does this cost me?
Zero: no commission, no fees, and we cover ordinary closing costs. After a year of adjusters, contractors, and deductibles, the offer amount being the actual wire amount tends to matter to people. The offer amount and the wire amount are the same figure, and you can hold us to it.
How fast can you close on a damaged house?
The same as any house: as few as 7 days from acceptance. Damage doesn't slow us because there's no lender, appraisal, or insurance binder in the path. If you need time to salvage belongings or finish a claim conversation, pick a later date.
How do I know the offer is fair for a house in this condition?
You audit it. The offer includes the Pinellas comparable sales we used and the repair or rebuild deductions at contractor rates, itemized. Storm-damaged pricing has more moving parts than normal sales, which is exactly why we show every part.
Would you ever advise me not to sell to you?
Yes, and it happens regularly. An undamaged, insurable house in Old Northeast will usually earn more listed, and a repaired house with strong documentation sometimes will too. If that's your position, we'll say so and suggest a good local agent. Straight answers are the whole brand.
