Can You Sell Your Home with Radon Present? Possibly, But Good Luck
Short answer? Yes, you can sell a home with high radon levels—but there are a few important things you need to know first.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the soil. If a test shows your home's radon level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, the EPA recommends mitigation. This might feel like a red flag during a real estate transaction—but it doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker.
Here’s What Sellers (and Buyers) Should Know:
Disclosure is Key
If you’ve tested and know your home has high radon levels, most states require you to disclose this to potential buyers. Honesty builds trust and protects the sale.
Mitigation Is a Smart Investment
Installing a radon mitigation system before listing your home shows buyers you’ve taken care of the issue—and it can actually make your property more attractive. Most systems are affordable and quick to install, with long-term peace of mind.
Buyers May Request Testing or Repairs
Even if you haven’t tested, many buyers will include a radon test as part of their inspection. Being proactive with testing and mitigation can prevent last-minute surprises that delay closing.
It’s Not Uncommon
Many homes across the U.S. test high for radon, especially in areas like [insert your region or state]. It’s a manageable problem—and one that’s very fixable with professional help.
