Leased solar systems require extra clarity and planning, because buyers may need to qualify to assume the lease or prefer a buyout instead. Start by contacting the solar company early to get payoff and transfer details, monthly payment amounts, and remaining term so you can disclose everything upfront.? Be transparent in your listing that the system is leased, include cost-versus-savings info, and work with an agent who understands how the lease affects financing and debt-to-income ratios. When possible, be ready to negotiate whether you’ll pay off the lease at closing or incentivize buyers to assume it.?
