We buy houses across the 50315 South Side
From South Park and the Park Avenue corridor to Indianola Avenue, McKinley, and SW 9th, Propcash buys houses across the South Side of Des Moines, whatever shape they are in.
Propcash also buys houses in other Des Moines neighborhoods, so you can sell a house fast in Union Park and Birdland, get a cash offer in Beaverdale, sell a Drake rental, and sell near Easter Lake. You can also sell your house fast across Des Moines or anywhere in Iowa.
An older South Side house that needs work? Still a yes.
The South Side is mostly older, modest working-class houses, and when finances are tight the repairs pile up. We buy them as-is, so you do not spend money you do not have to get to a sale.
-
Deferred maintenance
A roof, furnace, or plumbing you put off while money was tight, we factor it in
-
Older systems
A fuse box, aging furnace, galvanized plumbing in a pre-1960 house, none of it stops us
-
Storm or hail damage
Central Iowa hail on an older roof is common, and we price it in as-is
-
A house behind on taxes
Back property taxes do not stop the sale, we settle them at closing
-
Occupied or full of belongings
Leave what you do not want, we handle the cleanout after closing

Understanding the South Park and South Side market
The affordable end of the city
South Park and the 50315 ZIP make up the working South Side of Des Moines, close to downtown, Gray's Lake, and the airport. Prices here run below the citywide figure, which is exactly why a fair cash sale matters: when equity is thin, a lowball offer or a fat commission takes a bigger bite. We price the house honestly and show our math.
Racing the foreclosure and tax-sale clock
Iowa is mainly a judicial-foreclosure state, and after a sheriff's sale a one-year redemption period generally runs, shortening in some cases. Separately, delinquent property taxes are sold at the county's annual tax sale on the third Monday in June, and a certificate holder cannot start the tax-deed process for a set period afterward. For a South Side owner who is behind, the usable window is a clean sale before those dates, which pays off the debt and preserves the remaining equity.
Why a cash sale protects thin equity
On a lower-priced house, a five or six percent commission and weeks of carrying costs can erase most of what you would walk away with. A direct cash sale carries no commission and no closing costs charged to you, and it closes fast, so more of the equity stays with you. We show you the payoff math before you decide.
The citywide numbers, for context
The typical Des Moines home value is about $212,006 as of July 31, 2026 (Zillow Home Value Index, down 0.1% year over year), and Redfin separately put the citywide median sale price near $220,000 in July 2026. South Side houses generally trade below those figures. We base your offer on recent South Side sales, not a citywide average.
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.
Common situations we help South Side owners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Behind on the mortgage
A fast cash sale can clear the loan before a sheriff's sale and Iowa's redemption clock, protect your credit, and may leave cash in hand.
Back property taxes
Delinquent taxes do not stop a sale. We settle them at closing, ideally before the county's June tax sale forces the issue.
Can't afford the repairs
When money is tight, the repair list only grows. Sell as-is and spend nothing to get to closing.
Inherited a South Side house
Get a cash offer and sell an inherited house as-is, probate and all, without pouring money into it first.
Divorce or a fast move
When you need a clean, quick split of a modest house, a transparent cash offer and a fast close help everyone move on.
Tired landlord on the South Side
Sell a tenant-occupied rental without an eviction or a vacancy, and skip the deferred repairs.
The Propcash Promise
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Here is how we put that into action for South Side sellers.
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.
Frequently asked questions about selling in South Park
I'm behind on my mortgage. Can you still buy my South Side house?
Often, yes. Iowa is mainly a judicial-foreclosure state, and a fast cash sale can pay off the mortgage before a sheriff's sale and the redemption period that follows. That can protect your credit and may leave you with cash instead of nothing. We know how the Iowa timeline works and can move quickly.
There are back taxes on the house. Does that stop the sale?
No. Delinquent property taxes are settled at closing out of the sale proceeds. Iowa counties sell delinquent taxes at an annual tax sale on the third Monday in June, so selling before that date is the clean way to clear it. We handle the payoff as part of the closing.
The house needs repairs I can't pay for. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We buy South Side houses exactly as they are: old roof, tired furnace, hail damage, deferred maintenance and all. You spend nothing on repairs, and we handle the work after closing.
Will a cash sale really leave me more on a lower-priced house?
On a modest house, a commission and weeks of carrying costs take a real bite. A direct cash sale carries no commission and no closing costs charged to you, and it closes fast, so more of the equity stays with you. We show you the payoff math before you decide.
How fast can you close if a deadline is coming?
We can close in as few as 7 days through a local title company, which is often enough to beat a foreclosure sale or a tax-sale date. If you need more time, you pick a later date.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
Correct. No agent commission, no closing costs charged to you, no junk fees. The cash offer you accept is what you receive at closing.
How is Propcash different from the we-buy-houses signs on the South Side?
Those signs usually count on a seller in a hurry taking the first lowball number. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer that prices your house off recent South Side sales and shows the math. There is no obligation, so you can walk away.
Does Propcash buy houses throughout South Park and 50315?
Yes. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer that buys across South Park and the 50315 South Side, from the Park and Indianola Avenue corridors to McKinley and SW 9th. We buy with our own funds, so there is no listing and no waiting on a buyer's financing.
