Get My Cash OffersWhy East Nashville homeowners skip the traditional listing
East Nashville's transformation from hidden gem to one of Nashville's hottest markets has been remarkable — but it's also created a challenge. Flipped homes with $80K kitchens set buyer expectations. If your home hasn't been updated, competing on Zillow is tough. The marketplace flips that dynamic.

East Nashville's charm comes from its historic housing stock — Victorians, Craftsmans, bungalows from the early 1900s. But what buyers on Zillow see as "dated," our investors see as opportunity. They're looking for homes they can restore, not ones that are already done.

Understanding East Nashville's unique market dynamics
The flip economy changed everything
East Nashville's transformation over the past two decades is one of Nashville's most dramatic stories. What was once an overlooked neighborhood "across the river" is now one of the city's most desirable addresses, with median home prices around $580,000. But this success has created an unexpected challenge: the market is now dominated by renovated flips that set impossibly high standards for unrenovated homes.
When "good bones" isn't enough for Zillow buyers
If you've looked at comparable sales in East Nashville lately, you've seen the pattern. A flipped house with an $80K kitchen sells in a weekend. An unrenovated house with "good bones" sits for 69+ days, takes price cuts, and eventually sells to... an investor who's going to flip it anyway. The question is: why go through months of showings, stress, and price reductions when you could sell directly to that investor from day one?
Historic homes are exactly what investors want
East Nashville's housing stock — Victorians, Craftsmans, bungalows, and cottages from the early 1900s — is precisely what makes the neighborhood valuable. Investors in our network aren't looking for homes that are already renovated; they're looking for properties with original character they can restore. Your unrenovated home isn't a liability — it's inventory they're actively competing for.
Why East Nashville investors pay more through competition
Traditional cash buyers make lowball offers because they can — they're betting you don't know other options exist. But when 500+ investors see your property and multiple submit offers, the math changes. Investors who want East Nashville's historic homes for their flip portfolios have to bid competitively or lose out to someone else. That competition is what drives your price up.
Common situations we help East Nashville homeowners navigate
Whatever brought you here, our marketplace can connect you with the right buyer.
Can't compete with the flips
Your 1920s bungalow has charm, but Zillow buyers want granite and subway tile. Instead of spending $50K+ to renovate or watching your listing go stale, sell directly to investors who'll do the flip themselves.
Inherited a family home
Grandma's East Nashville house has been in the family for decades, but it's a time capsule that needs everything. Get cash offers from investors who appreciate historic homes and can close in as little as 7 days.
Major systems need work
Old wiring, galvanized plumbing, aging HVAC — these are dealbreakers for traditional buyers but not for investors. They budget for full system replacements and price their offers accordingly.
Ready to cash out the appreciation
Bought in East Nashville before the boom? Your property has appreciated significantly, but updating it to maximize sale price isn't worth the hassle. Get competing cash offers and capture your equity now.
Relocating and need speed
New job, new city, no time for a 69-day listing process. Our investors can close in as little as 7 days, letting you move on without the stress of managing a sale from out of state.
Divorce or estate settlement
When you need to divide assets quickly and fairly, a transparent marketplace helps. Multiple competing offers establish fair market value, and fast closing timelines help everyone move forward.
East Nashville sellers who skipped the renovation
Real results from homeowners in Lockeland Springs, Inglewood, and beyond
"My 1920s Lockeland Springs bungalow needed everything — new wiring, plumbing, the works. Couldn't afford to renovate and couldn't compete with the flipped houses down the street. Got 5 offers through Propcash and sold in 11 days."
"Inherited my grandmother's house in Inglewood. It was a time capsule from the 60s — original everything. The investors who bid actually loved the original hardwoods and built-ins. Closed in 2 weeks with zero stress."
"Was going to list with a realtor but they said I'd need $40K in updates to compete with the flips on my street. Propcash got me offers from investors who wanted it exactly as-is. Saved months of work and closed in 10 days."
Frequently asked questions about selling in East Nashville
Can I really sell my unrenovated East Nashville home without competing with flips?
Yes — and this is exactly what we specialize in. Our investor network includes buyers who specifically want unrenovated properties. They're looking for homes they can flip themselves, which means your "dated" kitchen and original hardwoods are features, not bugs. You don't need to spend $50K on renovations to get strong offers.
What East Nashville neighborhoods do you cover?
We buy houses throughout all of East Nashville: Lockeland Springs, Five Points, Historic Edgefield, Inglewood, Cleveland Park, McFerrin Park, Shelby Hills, East End, Eastwood, Rolling Acres, Rosebank, Porter Heights, and all surrounding areas. If you're in 37206, 37216, or 37207, we can help.
My home is a historic Victorian/Craftsman/bungalow that needs major updates. Is that okay?
More than okay — it's exactly what our investors want. East Nashville's historic housing stock is what makes the neighborhood valuable. Investors see original details as opportunities, not obstacles. Knob-and-tube wiring, old plumbing, outdated kitchens — they budget for all of it and build renovation costs into their offers.
Why do investors want unrenovated East Nashville homes?
Simple economics: they're in the business of flipping houses. An unrenovated East Nashville property with "good bones" is their ideal inventory. They'd rather buy your home at a fair as-is price and do the renovation themselves than compete with other buyers for an already-flipped house at retail. Your unrenovated home is exactly what they're looking for.
How fast can you close on an East Nashville property?
Our fastest East Nashville close was 6 days. Most close in 10-14 days. Because our investors are paying cash and buying as-is, there's no waiting for mortgage approvals, no inspection contingencies, and no last-minute surprises. You pick the closing date that works for you.
How is this different from listing with a realtor?
With a traditional listing, you're marketing to retail buyers who want move-in ready homes. In East Nashville's current market, that means competing with fully renovated flips. Our marketplace markets directly to investors who want properties to flip. No staging, no open houses, no 69+ days on the market — just competing cash offers within 24 hours.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
Zero. No realtor commissions (typically 5-6% in Nashville), no closing costs, no hidden fees. Propcash is completely free for sellers. The cash offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
How is Propcash different from "we buy houses" companies?
Those companies make you one offer and hope you accept. Propcash is a marketplace — we send your property to 500+ investors who compete for it. More buyers = more competition = better offers. Instead of wondering if you're getting lowballed, you see multiple offers and pick the best one.
What happens after I submit my property information?
Within 24 hours, your property goes out to our investor network. Interested investors submit offers. Our Marketplace Specialists review all offers and present you with the best options — typically 3-5 for East Nashville properties. You choose which offer to accept (if any), then we coordinate closing. There's zero obligation at any step.
I bought before the boom and my house has appreciated a lot. Can I capture that equity without renovating?
Absolutely. Many East Nashville sellers bought when prices were a fraction of today's values. You don't need to spend money updating the property to capture your appreciation — investors price their offers based on the home's potential, not its current condition. Get competing cash offers and see what your equity is worth today.
