How to Buy a House with Bitcoin
By RealEVR Estates Editorial Team · Published
You can buy a house with Bitcoin when the seller agrees to accept it. The price is agreed in a normal currency, converted at an agreed rate, and the coin goes to an escrow or the seller’s lawyer on written instructions, never to a wallet from a chat.
Can you really buy a house with Bitcoin?
Yes, where the seller is willing. In many countries, including Uganda, Bitcoin is not legal tender, so the sale is documented in a normal currency and the coin is the way the price is paid.
How does it work on RealEVR Estates?
- Open a home for sale and press Buy with Bitcoin.
- See the price in Bitcoin at the live rate and choose Bitcoin, Ether, USDT or USDC.
- Send your details. Nothing is paid at this point.
- We check the seller accepts digital currency and verify your identity and the source of funds.
- You get written payment instructions for an escrow or the seller’s lawyer.
Why does the price in Bitcoin change?
Bitcoin’s price moves all day. The figure on the page is a guide. The amount that counts is the one agreed in writing, at an agreed rate, shortly before payment.
How do I avoid Bitcoin fraud?
- Never send coin to an address from a chat, call or unsigned message.
- We never ask you to pay a personal wallet.
- Confirm payment instructions through our website or the escrow lawyer.
- Payments in coin cannot be reversed, so check twice.
