Summary (How to Sell Property in GTA Online)
GTA Online doesn’t let you outright sell properties for cash — you must trade them in for another.
You’ll only receive the price difference when downgrading to a cheaper property.
Dynasty 8 is the main site used for selling (trading) standard houses and apartments.
For businesses (e.g., bunkers, nightclubs), you’ll need to use Maze Bank Foreclosures instead.
To “sell” a property, buy a cheaper one, and choose an old one to trade in when prompted.
Unit 124 Popular Street is often the cheapest and most common option used for this trick.
Property upgrades (styles, garages, staff) may not transfer, so choose carefully.
Ideal method if you're short on cash and want to liquidate assets without Shark Cards.
Can You Sell Property in GTA Online?
Yes and no. Technically, you can’t just list a house and cash out like in real life. GTA Online only allows you to trade an existing property when purchasing a new one. That means you're not selling in the traditional sense — you're replacing one property with another.
You’ll receive some money back, but not the full value — only the difference in price between the new and old properties. If you downgrade to a cheaper place, that difference gets added to your account. If you're buying something more expensive, you’ll pay the difference instead.

How to Trade In a Property (Step-by-Step)
Here’s how to replace a property and get partial value back:
Pull up your in-game phone and open the Internet app.
Visit Dynasty 8 for standard homes or Maze Bank Foreclosures for business properties.
Click “View Property Listings” and set the Price filter to Low to High.
Select a cheaper property like Unit 124 Popular Street ($25,000).
Click Buy and then Purchase Property.
You’ll now be prompted to trade in an existing property. Pick the one you want to offload.
Confirm the transaction — the trade is done, and you’ll receive the price difference.
Note: If you already own the cheapest property, just pick the next one up the list.
Important Notes & Limitations
There’s no way to directly sell a property without buying a new one.
The system doesn’t refund upgrades — garages, interiors, decor, and business upgrades are lost or reset.
Trade-in limits or conditions may vary by property type (e.g., businesses vs houses).
You may lose progress or stock from business properties, so be cautious before swapping.

FAQs About Selling Property in GTA Online
Q: Can you sell a property without buying a new one?
A: No. GTA Online requires you to trade properties — you must purchase a new one and select the property to replace. There’s no standalone sell option.
Q: Do I get the full value of my property back?
A: No. You only receive the difference in value if you buy a cheaper property. For example, trading a $200K house for a $25K apartment will net you $175K.
Q: What’s the cheapest property for trade-ins?
A: Typically, it’s Unit 124 Popular Street ($25,000). It’s often used to liquidate higher-value homes for quick cash.
Q: Can I sell my nightclub, bunker, or other business?
A: Yes, but via Maze Bank Foreclosures, not Dynasty 8. Trade-ins for businesses work similarly, but they may come with restrictions or result in stock loss.
Q: Do upgrades transfer when trading?
A: Not always. Many upgrades like decor, garage space, or staff assignments, do not carry over and may need to be repurchased.
Final Words
Selling property in GTA Online might not be as straightforward as clicking "Sell," but it’s still a reliable way to clean up your portfolio or get some quick in-game cash. As long as you're okay with trading instead of outright selling — and don’t mind losing some upgrades — this method can help you reallocate resources without dipping into your Shark Card fund.
Next time you’re short on cash, consider downgrading one of your penthouses or swapping out that extra clubhouse. It might just be the boost your GTA grind needs.
