Our ratings & analysis
Overall score
#19 of 28 similar
We Buy Houses New York has a mixed overall score, mainly because there’s little customer feedback to work with. All 11 ratings we have are 5-star. Its solid business credentials include detailed business information on its website. We have no reviews from the past 6 months, leaving less insight into current customer experience. That doesn’t establish that the company has stopped buying homes.

Customer experience
Bottom 50% locally
We Buy Houses New York has a generally positive customer experience profile. Every rating in its lifetime review record was five-star. The main limit was review depth: 11 ratings provided limited evidence. No new ratings appeared in the latest 6 months, limiting what we could assess about current experiences. Its Customer Experience score of 72/100 places it below the middle of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was uniformly positive: 11 rated reviews averaged 5.0/5, all five-star. Reviews dated back to 2016. Our methodology adjusts small rating samples toward the typical company rating, then maps the adjusted rating to a score and applies a small review-depth deduction that decreases as the record grows. Volume credit grows with every rating, with an additional small adjustment that grows fastest over the first few hundred ratings and then slows. It strengthens the distance from the neutral, sample-adjusted 4.5-star signal; this record received a 0.05% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.01 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit. The confidence limit also constrained the score.
Recent ratings. No new ratings appeared over the latest 12, 6 or 3 months, through October 22, 2026. There was no recent rating evidence to assess.
Rating trends. We did not have enough comparable lifetime and recent rating data to assess a trend.
Common themes. Review-theme analysis was unavailable for this review population. We could not identify common themes from the available analysis.
Review relevance. A reconciled review-relevance breakdown was unavailable. We did not treat unclassified reviews as irrelevant.
Recent activity
Bottom 50% locally
Company activity · As of October 22, 2026 — our latest collection date.
We Buy Houses New York has limited recent activity evidence. No new reviews appeared over the past 6 months, and we lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. Its Activity score of 50/100 ranks joint #722 of 757 comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Recent review volume. The recent review record is quiet, with no new reviews over the latest 6 months. We counted 0 reviews over 12 months, 0 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 3, 1, and 0, respectively.
Recent review pace. No new reviews appeared over the latest 6 months, so we leave its pace classification unassessed. Its 6- and 3-month rates were 0× its lifetime average pace, compared with 0× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0 reviews per month over 6 months, 0 over 3 months and 0 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.1. The record contains 11 reviews dating back to 2016.
Review freshness. The review record lacks recent feedback. Its latest review on file was February 14, 2023 — more than 3 years old as of our last data refresh. No reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 5 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.

How we researched and scored this company
Methodology
We research each company using its website, business profiles, and third-party customer reviews. We use company sources to understand its services and terms, and distinguish those claims from independent evidence. When available, we also draw on interviews with company representatives and sellers, and relevant public records.
When there is enough evidence, we calculate an overall score out of 100 using 3 categories:
- Customer experience (67.5%) reflects customer satisfaction, based primarily on average customer ratings and the number of reviews supporting them.
- Recent activity (20%) reflects recent review volume, how recently the company received a review, and how its recent review pace compares with its history. Reviews are a signal of activity, not a count of completed home purchases.
- Credibility (12.5%) considers business verification, website transparency, public engagement, and documented operating history.
Use the company or location identified on this page when interpreting the evidence. A broader company record may not describe every local office. Review history is separate from the company’s founding date.
Limited evidence can restrict what we can assess. A company may appear without a score, and a small review sample may not represent a typical seller’s experience. Scores summarize the evidence available to us; they do not predict an offer price or guarantee a sale or service quality.
