The Holmes County market right now
Across all home types, Holmes County’s median sale price for the three months ending August 2026 was $280,000, with a median of 41 days on market. Only a handful of homes sell each month, so one or two sales can move the median a lot. For a house that needs work, the pool of retail buyers is very small.
Selling with code violations or liens in Holmes County
Holmes County relies on a public-nuisance ordinance rather than a full code enforcement department, so most rural properties don’t carry the daily-fine liens common in bigger counties. Towns can be different: Esto’s 2026 code ordinance uses a Special Magistrate and daily fines. A recorded fine becomes a lien on the property and the owner’s other property (Fla. Stat. 162.09). We run a title search either way and pay any lien at closing.
Facing foreclosure in Holmes County
Holmes County holds foreclosure sales in person at the front door of the Holmes County Courthouse in Bonifay at 11 a.m. Tax deed sales are also in person, cash or cashier’s check only. Both are run by Clerk of Court and Comptroller Sam Bailey. The sale is set 20 to 35 days after final judgment (Fla. Stat. 45.031). We can close before it.
Inherited a house in Holmes County
Holmes is part of the 14th Judicial Circuit with Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Jackson and Washington. Summary administration is usually available for estates of $150,000 or less after exempt property, or when the owner died more than two years ago (Fla. Stat. 735.201). Family land passed down without probate is common here, and we can work with your attorney to clear title.
What we buy and how it works
What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.
How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
