Selling An Eastham House: Quick Answers

• Can I sell my Eastham house as-is? Yes. We buy it in its current condition, septic and well included, and you don’t repair or clean anything.
• Does Eastham have town sewer? Not yet. Homes use septic systems, and the town’s first sewer phase is just starting.
• Is a septic inspection required when I sell? In Eastham, yes: the Board of Health requires one whenever a house changes hands by sale, gift or inheritance. A transfer to a surviving spouse is the exception.
• What if the house has a private well? Eastham requires the well water to be tested by a certified lab when ownership changes.
• How fast can you close? On your schedule. You pick the date, and we can wait if you need time to move out.

Septic, Cesspools And The Coming Sewer

Eastham has no town sewer today. The town’s first sewer project is starting with the Salt Pond and Minister Pond areas and parts of Route 6, and connections aren’t expected until about the end of the decade. Until then, every house in town relies on its own septic system.

That matters at sale because Eastham’s Board of Health rules go further than the state’s Title 5. A septic inspection is required at any transfer, and a cesspool found at that inspection is treated as substandard and must be upgraded. In nitrogen-sensitive areas, sellers may also need to give the buyer a nitrogen disclosure form before closing.

A traditional buyer’s lender usually wants all of that finished before closing. We don’t. If the system fails, or turns out to be a cesspool, we take that on after we buy. See the Massachusetts guide to selling a house with a septic system.

Wells, Town Water And Oil Tanks

Town water in Eastham is fairly new. It was approved in 2014 and 2015, so many homes still run on private wells. If yours does, the well water has to be tested by a certified lab when ownership changes, and some results can complicate a regular sale.

Older oil heat is another common snag. Eastham requires above-ground oil tanks to be double-walled or contained when a property is transferred. A buyer may ask you to replace the tank first. We buy with the old tank in place.

Rentals, The National Seashore And Eastham Homes

Every rental in Eastham, including year-round rentals, has to be registered with the town each year, and the town’s short-term rental rules took effect January 1, 2025. If you own a rental that has fallen behind on registration, or you have tenants in place, we can still buy it.

Parts of Eastham are inside the Cape Cod National Seashore, where homes come with extra federal rules on what owners can build or change. That narrows the pool of buyers who want to renovate. It doesn’t change our offer process.

Sell Your Eastham House In Any Situation

Inherited property. We buy inherited houses as-is and can work around probate timing. Leave behind whatever you don’t want. Our guide to selling an inherited house in Massachusetts walks through the steps.

Failed or unknown Title 5. Eastham is entirely on septic and has had well water issues for years. A failed Title 5 can cost $30,000 or more before a traditional buyer will close. We buy houses with failed or uninspected septic systems.

Behind on the mortgage or facing foreclosure. We can often close before the auction date. See how we help owners stop foreclosure.

Tenant-occupied property. We buy rentals with tenants in place, including non-paying tenants.

Houses that need major work. Old roofs, wiring, water damage, outdated kitchens and baths. We buy them as-is.

A Local Cape Cod Buyer

We are not an out-of-state company with a Cape Cod landing page. George lives on the Cape, we buy in Eastham regularly, and we know what houses there actually sell for. If a cash sale is not the right fit for your house, we will tell you that too.

Pilgrim Hill Holdings is owned by George Valentgas, who started buying houses in 2015 and opened the company in 2019. In 2025 it completed 132 transactions. Read what sellers have said.

If your septic passes, the well tests clean and you can wait for the right buyer, listing with a good agent may get you more. Here’s how the options compare.

Eastham Seller FAQs

Do I need a septic inspection to sell my Eastham house to you?

Eastham requires an inspection whenever a house changes hands, so one will happen. You don’t have to fix anything it finds before selling to us. We price the house as it is and handle the work after closing.

Do you buy houses with a cesspool in Eastham?

Yes. Eastham treats a cesspool found at a transfer inspection as substandard, which usually means an upgrade. We buy the house anyway and take that on ourselves.

My house has a private well. Is that a problem?

No. The well water has to be tested by a certified lab when ownership changes. Whatever the result, we can still buy the house.

Can you buy an inherited Eastham house before probate is finished?

We can make the offer and sign while probate is pending, and close once the personal representative has authority to sell. Eastham estates go through the Barnstable Probate and Family Court.

Do you buy houses inside the National Seashore?

Yes. Parts of Eastham are inside the Cape Cod National Seashore, and homes there have extra federal rules. We buy them as they are.
