We Buy Houses Cash - San Joaquin Valley CA: The difficulty you may be having in trying to get your house sold is not unusual. Some houses are showing up on the market literally years after they were listed. This is unusual but understandable under the circumstances. There are just too many houses available for purchase all at once and prices are extraordinarily low.

Consider Giving Your House AwayIf you don’t necessarily need the proceeds of the sale, you can consider gifting your house to a child, parent, or other relative. You can also think about placing your house into a trust to be given to a charity. Giving away a house that you will not get enough money for is one way to make sure it at least goes to someone you are happy about sharing it with.With the possibility of making your house into a family retreat, even more possibilities are opened. You can place the house into a family trust and allow family members to use the house as a getaway or place to gather in a central location.

This is particularly true if the house is large or is located in a resort area.Even a house that’s within a short distance of a lake or river, hiking trails, tourist destination, or major shopping area can give the family a place in which to enjoy being together without renting several hotel or motel rooms, which is far less personal.A family gathering in a house is much more bonding, as siblings and other relatives can enjoy a cup of coffee together early in the morning, then plan a day of recreation, ending it up with a family barbeque and the beverages of their choice while the kids watch a rented movie or play board games

. If this sounds like a possibility for your family, consider it before giving up on the sale and selling it for next to nothing.Each state has its own laws where gifting a home is concerned. Check with a real estate attorney for details in your area. You can choose a simple gift of the home to another family member, which can be completed in hours. A title company can usually handle it for you. Placing the house in a family trust will be more complicated and usually involves the use of an appraisal and more paperwork. Get the details of the laws in your state and decide which way you want to approach it.
