Selling a house in Cheektowaga or Depew: what's different locally
Cheektowaga and Depew sit just east of the Buffalo city line, mostly post-war ranches and capes on tidy lots. When money gets tight, the roof, boiler and driveway are the first things to slide, and that deferred maintenance is what a traditional buyer's inspection kills. We buy these houses as-is, price the condition in, and can work any Erie County back taxes into the payoff at closing so nothing has to be paid out of pocket first.
How long it takes to sell a house in Cheektowaga
Cheektowaga homes typically go pending in about 14 days, then take around 58 days to close with a financed buyer, roughly 10 weeks start to finish. Listings that need work sit longer; Redfin shows some Cheektowaga listings staying on market 33 to 44 days. A cash sale to Irish Jones closes in 7 to 14 days.
| Stage | Traditional listing | Irish Jones |
|---|---|---|
| Prep and repairs | 2 to 4 weeks, at your cost | None |
| Days to contract | About 14 | One walkthrough |
| Contract to close | About 58 | 7 to 14 days |
| Total time to sell | About 72 days | 7 to 14 days |

Cheektowaga housing market in 2026
- Median closing price, last 6 months (Resideline, Aug 2026)

- 7 to 14 days
Cheektowaga closed 342 home sales in the last six months at a median of $251,400 and $187 per square foot, more volume than any other suburb we serve. That volume cuts both ways. There are buyers for every house, but there are also plenty of clean, updated ranches for them to choose from, so a house with a 25-year-old roof or an original 1960s kitchen gets passed over or beaten down on price after inspection. We do not inspect twice. One walkthrough, one written number, and the roof and the kitchen are our problem after closing.

Irish Jones Home Buyers, the cash home buying division of Irish Jones, a licensed NY brokerage (#10491209386). We buy in our own name with our own funds. We do not assign your contract to another investor.
No. We walk the house once, price the condition into the written offer, and that is the number at closing. There is no inspection contingency and no second negotiation.
Yes. New York closings are attorney closings, so your own attorney reviews the contract and attends closing. We work with them directly and can recommend local attorneys if you do not have one.
In a traditional sale, sellers typically pay about 1.1% in closing costs plus the 0.4% New York State transfer tax, on top of agent commission. When you sell to us, we cover the standard seller closing costs. Ask us about the transfer tax on your specific sale.
Yes. Most sellers do. At closing the title company pays off your loan from the sale price and sends you the balance. Get a payoff letter from your lender so you can compare it to our offer.
No. Leave what you do not want. Our crews handle cleanout and repairs after closing. Half-finished projects, old roofs, dated kitchens, and code issues are all normal for us.
Check three things: a real local address, a license you can look up, and proof of funds. Our office is at 1305 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo. Our NY license number is on every page. We will show proof of funds on request. If a buyer will not do all three, walk away.
Once title is clear, 7 to 14 days is typical. Liens, probate, or missing signatures can add time, which is why we start the title search the day you accept.
Yes. Cheektowaga, Depew, Sloan, Cleveland Hill, Pine Hill, and the streets around the airport are all in our service area.
Yes. We fold tax liens into the payoff at closing so you do not pay them out of pocket.
Yes. We buy occupied, and the tenant situation becomes ours after closing. See our problem tenants page.
Yes. Easements, unpermitted additions, and code items are reviewed before the offer and do not stop a sale.
