Cash Home Buyers in Greensboro, NC
Guilford County mailed its 2026 reappraisal notices in February projecting an average value increase of 40 to 45 percent over the 2022 cycle. Then, on June 19, 2026, Governor Stein signed Senate Bill 889, a statewide moratorium that froze any county's newly completed 2026 reappraisal for the 2026-27 fiscal year — so this year's actual tax bill is calculated off the same value the county used in 2025, not the February notice, and the county didn't finish mailing bills until August 15 while it reworked the math. The higher, revalued figure doesn't take effect until the 2027-28 fiscal year. That leaves three different numbers potentially attached to the same house — the February notice, the actual bill, and whatever a buyer's lender pulls up — depending on when someone last checked. It gets more complicated if the house sits inside one of Greensboro's three locally zoned historic districts — College Hill, Dunleath, or Fisher Park — or is one of the city's 66 individually designated Guilford County Landmark properties, where the Historic Preservation Commission has to approve any exterior work with a Certificate of Appropriateness before it starts. Nova Home Buyers buys Greensboro houses as-is, for cash, so neither a stalled tax number nor a pending preservation review has to get resolved before you sell.
Fisher Park and Aycock, two of Greensboro's oldest close-in neighborhoods, were still nearly 46% non-owner-occupied as of the 2000 Census, and that rental concentration hasn't gone away — a real share of the sales in those two neighborhoods are landlords exiting a rental, not owner-occupants relocating. A landlord in either historic district carries two problems layered on top of each other: getting the Historic Preservation Commission to sign off on deferred exterior maintenance before the property will show well, and clearing a tenant on a schedule that isn't set by the market. Farther out, demand runs on employment instead. Cone Health, with roughly 13,000 employees, and Guilford County Schools, with more than 10,000, are the county's two largest employers and anchor a steady base of relocation-driven sales, and Randolph County's Toyota battery megasite just south of the county line is starting to pull new commuter demand into Greensboro's outer neighborhoods — competing for the same starter-home inventory that landlords in Fisher Park and Aycock are trying to move.
We buy houses in Greensboro in any condition — no repairs required, no agent, no showings.

Why People Sell for Cash in Greensboro
A landlord exiting a tenant-occupied house in Fisher Park or Aycock
Almost half the housing in Fisher Park and Aycock was non-owner-occupied as of the 2000 Census, and that hasn't reversed. If the house sits in the College Hill, Dunleath, or Fisher Park historic district, deferred exterior repairs need a Certificate of Appropriateness before a retail listing would show well — and you still have to clear the unit of a tenant first. We buy the house as-is, tenant or no tenant, without asking you to get a COA approved first.
A tax number that doesn't match what you're actually being billed
Guilford County's February 2026 reappraisal notice projected a 40-45% increase, but Senate Bill 889 froze that number for the 2026-27 tax year — your actual bill is calculated off the 2025 value instead, and the higher figure doesn't apply until 2027-28. If you're not sure which number a buyer's lender will reference, we aren't pricing off either one; we price off the property and recent comparable sales.
A relocation tied to Cone Health, Guilford County Schools, or a Triad-area job
A new position at Cone Health, a transfer within Guilford County Schools, or a move tied to the Toyota megasite in neighboring Randolph County usually comes with a start date, not a 60-90 day listing window. We can close on the date that matches your move, not a buyer's mortgage timeline.

Selling a House in Greensboro: FAQs
Guilford County's 2026 reappraisal notice said my value jumped 40-45%. Is that what I'm actually being taxed on this year?
No — not yet. Guilford County mailed reappraisal notices in February 2026 projecting that average increase, but Governor Stein signed Senate Bill 889 on June 19, 2026, which froze any county's newly completed 2026 reappraisal for the 2026-27 fiscal year. Your actual bill, which the county didn't finish mailing until around August 15 (later than the usual July date), is calculated off the same value the county used for 2025, not the February notice. The reappraised number doesn't take effect until the 2027-28 fiscal year. We don't price off either number — our offer is based on the house and recent comparable sales.
My property tax rate seems higher than last year even with the reappraisal frozen. Why?
The county raised its rate, not just the value. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners set the countywide rate at 78.95 cents per $100 of assessed value for 2026-27, up from 73.05 cents, and the City of Greensboro adds its own $0.6725 per $100 on top of that. Even with the reappraised value on hold, the bill itself can still run higher than last year's. That's a county and city budget decision, not something tied to your specific house, and it doesn't change what we're able to offer.
My house is in Fisher Park, College Hill, or Dunleath. Do I need Historic Preservation Commission approval before I can sell?
Not to sell — only to do exterior work. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before changing the outside of a house in any of Greensboro's three locally zoned historic districts (College Hill, Dunleath, Fisher Park) or on one of the 66 individually designated Guilford County Landmark properties, but the sale itself doesn't need Commission sign-off. Because we buy as-is, there's no COA to file before we close — that's only a step if you were planning to list with repairs done first.
I'm renting out a house in Fisher Park or Aycock and want to sell with the tenant still in place. Can you buy it that way?
Yes. Fisher Park and Aycock have historically run close to 46% non-owner-occupied, so a tenant-occupied sale isn't unusual here. We can make an offer and structure closing around your tenant's lease instead of requiring the unit to sit vacant first — you don't have to go through an eviction or wait for a lease to end before you sell.
Where does my deed actually get recorded when I sell a Greensboro house?
At the Guilford County Register of Deeds, 201 W. Market Street in Greensboro, along with North Carolina's excise tax of $1.00 per $500 of the sale price under N.C. Gen. Stat. §105-228.30, which is the seller's cost by statute. Being inside a historic district doesn't change where or how the deed records — the Certificate of Appropriateness process is separate from the recording process, and only applies if you do exterior work before selling.
