Common situations in Westchester County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Yonkers estates are handled by the Westchester County Surrogate's Court in White Plains, which appoints the executor or administrator who can sell the house.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Yonkers foreclosures are filed in the New York State Supreme Court in Westchester County; after a judgment, a court-appointed referee holds the auction, and mandatory settlement conferences come first for owner-occupants. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Yonkers bills and collects its own property taxes, and taxes left unpaid can end with the city enforcing its tax lien against the house.

The City of Yonkers' building and housing inspectors handle code complaints, illegal apartments and unsafe structures.

Selling for cash in Yonkers: questions
My Yonkers house has a basement apartment that was never legalized. Can I still sell it?
Yes. Cash buyers buy Yonkers houses with unpermitted units and deal with legalizing or removing them after closing. Be upfront about it so the offer and the contract account for it.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Yonkers?
New York sales are usually handled by attorneys for both sides; the closing pays off the mortgage, the taxes and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Westchester 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.
