Sell Your Vacant New Braunfels House — Stop the Bleed.
Every month a New Braunfels home sits empty costs you insurance, taxes, HOA dues, utility minimums, and vandalism risk. We buy vacant homes across Comal County for cash — 7-day close, as-is.
The Situation
What You're Facing
A vacant house is an expensive asset. Standard homeowner's insurance policies convert to vacant-home policies after 30–60 days of unoccupancy — with premiums often 50–200% higher and reduced coverage for the risks that actually matter (theft, vandalism, water damage from failed HVAC). Property taxes on the Comal Appraisal District roll keep accruing. HOA dues in Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, and River Chase keep hitting. Utilities have to stay on to prevent mold in Central Texas humidity. And every empty house is a target for copper theft, squatting, and vandalism.
Vacant New Braunfels homes happen for many reasons: an inherited property that hasn't been dealt with, a divorce that left one spouse relocated and the other unable to afford it alone, a job relocation that never got closed out, a rental property between tenants that turned into a longer-than-expected vacancy, or a home a family moved out of years ago intending to sell 'later.' Whatever the reason, the carry costs are real.
Selling on the MLS while the home is vacant is difficult. Retail buyers see empty houses as neglected. Insurance issues sometimes prevent showings. And Central Texas retail days-on-market have stretched considerably. A cash sale to us stops the bleed the day we close — no more vacant insurance premiums, no more HOA notices, no more property tax accrual on your account.
We buy vacant properties in any condition. Older homes in Mission Hills or Oak Run with 30+ years of deferred maintenance. Newer builds in Vintage Oaks or Havenwood that sat empty during a relocation. Canyon Lake vacation homes that stopped making sense to keep. If it has a roof and a deed, we make an offer.
Why People Sell
Why New Braunfels Homeowners Choose to Sell
Vacant-Home Insurance Premiums Are Killing You
50–200% higher than standard homeowner's, with reduced coverage. A fast sale eliminates the policy.
HOA Dues Keep Coming
Vintage Oaks, Havenwood, River Chase, and other Comal County HOAs don't pause dues because the home is empty. Every month adds up.
Property Taxes Accruing
Comal Appraisal District taxes keep piling on. Selling stops future accrual and settles current balance at closing.
Vandalism, Copper Theft, Squatting
Empty homes attract problems. The longer a New Braunfels home sits, the higher the risk.
HVAC & Utility Minimums
Central Texas humidity requires the A/C on to prevent mold. Utility minimums plus HOA plus insurance is real money.
Out-of-State Owner Can't Manage It
Managing a Comal County vacant home from Colorado, California, or Florida is stressful and expensive.
The Hard Parts
Challenges Homeowners Run Into
Deferred Maintenance from Vacancy
HVAC issues, plumbing corrosion from disuse, roof problems that went unnoticed. We buy as-is.
Prior Water Damage or Mold
Central Texas humidity plus a shut-off A/C equals mold. We buy anyway.
Code Compliance Notices
Overgrown lots and abandoned-property notices from City of New Braunfels code enforcement. Not your problem after closing.
Vandalism or Break-Ins
Broken windows, damaged doors, missing appliances or copper. We factor into offer and buy.
Squatters or Unauthorized Occupants
If squatters have moved in, we handle removal after closing under Texas trespass law.
Back Taxes, HOA Liens, or Lender Issues
All settled at closing directly from proceeds. No cash needed from you.

Local Property Values
Vacant Comal County homes typically range from $220k–$700k+ depending on condition, location, and time vacant. Our offer reflects real recent comps adjusted for condition.
Military Homeowners
Some vacant New Braunfels-area homes were originally military owner-occupant purchases that were kept as rentals or investments after a PCS move and eventually turned into unmanaged vacancies. We buy them as-is.
Inherited & Older Homes
Many long-vacant properties came from probate estates that were never resolved. We coordinate with the executor or attorney to close cleanly.

Comal County retail days-on-market have stretched considerably. A vacant home listed on the MLS often sits 90–180 days accumulating carry costs — a cash sale to us typically nets more after those costs are subtracted.

“House had been empty for two years after Mom passed. The HOA in Vintage Oaks was sending letters, insurance was killing us, and none of the four kids could deal with it. South Texas Home Investors closed in 10 days and it was finally over.”
