If you’ve driven through Cordova or Berclair lately, you’ve probably noticed more “For Sale” signs than we saw a year or two ago. The Memphis market is definitely shifting in 2026. While the “boom” was great for some, it has left a lot of homeowners feeling stuck as their houses sit on the market month after month. If you are tired of waiting on picky buyers, the best move right now is to sell your house as-is in Memphis and skip the traditional stress.
At Spencer Buys Houses, we’re seeing the reality on the ground. The median “days on market” in the Mid-South has climbed past the 60-day mark. For a lot of folks, that’s two extra mortgage payments, two more utility bills, and 60 days of keeping the house “showing ready” while strangers walk through their living room.

Right now, there’s a lot more inventory. That means buyers are getting picky. If your house has a roof that’s seen better days, a kitchen from the 80s, or maybe some foundation issues, traditional buyers are going to ask for a massive price drop or expensive repairs before they even consider closing.
That’s where Spencer Shadrach and our team come in. We don’t care if the house is a “fixer-upper” or if it’s been damaged by fire or bad tenants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does the process actually take?
Typically, we can get you an offer within 24 hours of seeing the property. If you accept, we can often close in as little as 7 to 14 days, depending on your schedule.
What neighborhoods do you buy in?
We are very active across the Memphis metro area, including Cordova, Olive Branch, Tipton County, Somerville, and Memphis proper (including areas like Whitehaven and Henry Heights).
Do I need to clean the house out first?
Nope. If there’s old furniture, trash, or items you don’t want, you can leave them behind. We handle the heavy lifting and the clean-out so you don’t have to.
Are there any hidden fees or closing costs?
None. The offer we give you is the amount you walk away with. We cover the closing costs ourselves.
What if I have bad tenants or the house is in poor condition?
That is our specialty. We regularly buy houses “as-is,” including those with structural issues, fire damage, or even difficult rental situations. You won’t hurt our feelings by showing us a house that needs work!
