Postwar Brick Houses, And The Water That Came In 2012
Canarsie was built out mostly between the late 1940s and the 1970s: brick one-family and two-family houses, attached, semi-detached, and detached, many with a finished basement below the main floors. Larger houses from the 1910s and 1920s still stand north of Flatlands Avenue. Rockaway Parkway runs from the L terminal down to Canarsie Pier on Jamaica Bay, the L also stops at East 105th Street, and Remsen Avenue and Flatlands Avenue are the other main roads. Paerdegat Basin marks the southwest edge, and Canarsie Park runs along Seaview Avenue.
When Hurricane Sandy hit in October 2012, water filled basements across the low blocks near the bay and Paerdegat Basin, and some owners are still living with repairs they never finished or a flood insurance bill that’s hard to carry. Canarsie is also home to many Caribbean families (Jamaican, Trinidadian, Guyanese, and Haitian) who bought from the Italian and Jewish owners before them, and many of those houses are now passing to children who live anywhere from Brooklyn to the Caribbean. Prime Realty Buyers is a New York City cash buyer based in Ozone Park, Queens, just past where Brooklyn ends, and we buy as-is.

Why Canarsie Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Canarsie calls tend to start with water or with family. A basement that flooded in Sandy, a downstairs unit nobody filed with the city, a parent’s house with heirs in three countries. We buy with all of it in place.
Sellers across Canarsie reach out to us when they're dealing with:
Retirees ready to leave the stairs and the snow behind for family down South or back home in the islands
We’ll walk the house, flood marks and all, and put a cash number in writing. If it isn’t a fit, you’ll hear that from us first.
We Buy Canarsie Houses As-Is
Flood damage, basement units, tenants, and a house full of furniture can all stay.
We buy:
Take what matters. Leave the rest. We deal with the flood repairs, the basement unit, and the cleanout once the house is ours.
Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a New York City cash buyer based in Ozone Park, a short drive from Canarsie. A real person answers, walks the house, and writes the offer, and we explain how we priced the flood history, the basement unit, and the mechanicals, so nothing in the number is a mystery.
We put proof of funds in writing before you sign, close through your attorney and a title company, and let you choose the date. Heirs abroad can sign at a consulate or before a local notary through your attorney. An open estate just means a later closing date.

Real Canarsie Seller Stories
Probate Property
“Dad signed his will in Kingston on a visit home, and before Surrogate’s Court would accept it, we needed sworn statements from the two witnesses there. That took most of a spring, and his house off Remsen Avenue sat empty the whole time. Prime Realty Buyers signed a contract early and simply waited, and Chris called every couple of weeks to check in. We closed ten days after my Letters came.”
Flood Zone
“Sandy filled our basement near Seaview Avenue to the ceiling and took the boiler and the downstairs apartment with it. We got the heat back, but the basement stayed gutted, and the flood insurance got harder to pay every year. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with the basement exactly as Sandy left it. Chris worked around my husband’s hospital appointments, and we closed on the day we chose.”
Repair Distress
“Every heavy rain, the drain at the bottom of our sloped driveway off Avenue L backed up, and water ran into the garage and the basement behind it. After the third time, the walls were full of mold and the boiler was rusting out. I’m on a pension and couldn’t keep paying for cleanups. Chris walked it with me the same week, Prime Realty Buyers bought the house as it was, and we closed in 21 days.”
Downsizing
“Our semi-detached near Canarsie Park was the first and only house my husband and I ever owned. Once he was gone, three floors of stairs were too much, and my daughter found me an apartment near her in Pennsylvania. Prime Realty Buyers put the offer in writing, and my attorney brought the papers to my kitchen table so I never had to go downtown. We closed in 25 days.”
Tax Lien
“A leak in the water line under our front yard ran for months before we found it, and the bill that followed, on top of property taxes we’d let slide, put our two-family on the city’s lien sale list. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with every charge still open, and the city got paid from the proceeds at closing. Chris kept our attorney in the loop, and we closed in 22 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Canarsie
Our Canarsie basement has been down to the studs since Sandy. Is that something you'd still buy?
Yes. Many of the calls we get from the blocks near Jamaica Bay involve open walls, a missing boiler, or Build It Back work that stopped partway. We price the flood work into one written offer, and you don’t hire a contractor or file another claim.
The flood insurance on our Canarsie house is hard to keep paying. Can we sell before the next renewal?
Usually, yes. We can close in as little as 7 days once the title is clear, or on any date you pick before the renewal. Flood zone status matters most to buyers who need a mortgage; we pay cash and factor it into the number.
Our Canarsie two-family has a third unit in the basement. How do you price that?
We price the house on the units the certificate of occupancy allows, then account for what it costs to legalize or remove the basement unit after closing. The rent it brings in still counts, and we walk you through the math line by line. The tenant can stay.
The drain at the bottom of our sloped Canarsie driveway backs up in heavy rain. Will you still buy the house?
Yes. A backed-up driveway drain and the water damage it leaves in the garage and basement don’t stop us. We buy with the mold, the rusted boiler, or the wet walls as they are and deal with the drainage after closing.
Do you buy two-families along Rockaway Parkway near the L?
Yes, from the blocks near the Rockaway Parkway terminal down toward the pier, occupied or empty, updated or untouched for decades. Tenants can stay, and you choose the closing date.
Do you buy the older frame houses north of Flatlands Avenue too, or only the brick two-families?
Both. The larger houses from the 1910s and 1920s north of Flatlands Avenue often need more work, and that’s fine with us. We buy them as they stand, with a written offer within 24 hours of the walkthrough.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take what you want to keep, from the photos to the good china. Leave the rest, including the basement and the garage, and we clear it after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None. Zero commissions, zero closing costs charged to you, zero hidden fees. The number we offer is the number you walk away with, less only what you owe on the house.
