Common situations in Hampden County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Springfield estates are opened in the Hampden Probate and Family Court. Until that court appoints a personal representative, no one has the authority to sign a deed for the estate.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Mortgage foreclosures on Springfield houses are mostly out-of-court auctions under the power of sale; the notices and the final foreclosure deed are recorded at the Hampden County Registry of Deeds. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Springfield bills and collects its own property taxes. Unpaid taxes can turn into a tax taking, and a long-delinquent tax title account can end with the city foreclosing through the Land Court.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
Springfield's code enforcement inspectors respond to housing complaints, can order vacant buildings boarded and secured, and can bill the owner for the work.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Springfield eviction cases are heard in the Western Housing Court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in Springfield: questions
I'm behind on my Springfield water and sewer bill as well as my taxes. Can I still sell?
Yes. In Massachusetts unpaid water and sewer charges can be added to the property tax lien, and they are paid from the sale proceeds at closing along with any back taxes.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Springfield?
Massachusetts sales are closed by an attorney, who pays off the mortgage and any city taxes and records the deed at the county registry of deeds. Before closing, the seller usually needs a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm certificate from the local fire department. Once you accept an offer, most Hampden County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
