The Real Cost of an Empty House
It’s easy to underestimate the burden of a vacant home. Even when it’s just sitting there, you’re still responsible for:
- Property taxes
- Insurance premiums
- Lawn maintenance
- Utilities
- Repairs and upkeep
That doesn’t include the emotional stress of worrying about break-ins, code violations, or storm damage. Every month you delay, the costs continue to rise.
If you're in this situation, you're not alone. Many of our sellers first reach out after realizing their vacant house is quietly draining their time, energy, and savings.
Common Problems in Long-Term Vacant Homes
An empty home is a magnet for problems, especially in Louisiana. The longer it stays vacant, the more likely it will face:
- Moisture and mold damage
- Roof or structural issues
- Pest infestations
- Theft or vandalism
- City fines or legal notices
All of these reduce your property’s value and can make it harder to sell the traditional way. In some cases, the city may even condemn the house or place a lien on it.

You Don’t Need to Fix It First
One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have is that they need to fix up the house before selling. That’s not true.
If your home needs:
- A new roof
- Foundation repairs
- Mold remediation
- Electrical updates
...you can still sell it without lifting a finger. At Spouses Who Buy Houses, we buy houses exactly as they are. No matter the damage, clutter, or condition, you won’t need to do any cleaning or repairs.

Here’s what homeowners in New Orleans have to say about their experience with Spouses Who Buy Houses:

Why Traditional Sales Don’t Work for Vacant Homes
Real estate agents typically recommend updates and showings to attract buyers. But that only works if the home is in good shape. If your house has been sitting empty, agents will likely recommend costly repairs or deep cleaning before even listing it.
Then, even after you spend the money, you could be waiting months for a qualified buyer to come along. And if the buyer’s financing falls through, you’re back at square one.
