Minnesota homes with structural problems aren’t passing inspection—and cash buyers are becoming the only way out
(Isstories Editorial):- Minneapolis, Minnesota Nov 2, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – As the weather cools and soil conditions shift, more Minnesota homeowners are discovering cracks, water intrusion, and sinking foundations–and for many in Lakeville, Eagan, and Belle Plaine, the cost to fix it is too high. That’s why a growing number of sellers are turning to local cash buyers to offload properties that can’t be financed or insured.

“We’re getting more calls from people who say, ‘My basement wall is bowing, and no one will buy the house,’” said a spokesperson for Sell House Fast MN. “We buy houses Lakeville with structural problems, failing slabs, or shifting footings. The truth is: if a home can’t pass inspection, a cash offer might be the only way out.”
What Structural Issues Are Making Homes Unsellable in 2025?
-
Horizontal or stair-step cracks in foundation walls

Sloping floors and shifting beams

Bowing walls or crumbling concrete

Improper settling or sinking corners
In Eagan and Belle Plaine, homes built before 1990 are showing signs of long-term structural fatigue. Traditional buyers are backing out during inspections–or struggling to get financing approved.
Why Sellers Are Choosing As-Is Sales With Cash Buyers
Sellers in Lakeville or Eagan often get bids of $15,000-$50,000 for foundation repairs. And even after repairs, they’re not guaranteed a clean home inspection or FHA approval.
“We buy houses Eagan where the seller was told to install wall anchors and fully excavate the back wall of their home,” the rep said. “They chose to sell as-is and walk away, which saved them tens of thousands.”
