High Point sellers reach out for different reasons: a family sorting out a parent's house from another state, a landlord near the furniture showroom district tired of repair calls, an owner who has put off a roof or HVAC replacement, or a homeowner trying to make sense of a 2026 tax bill that mixes a county rate and a city rate. We are a veteran-owned buyer with our own acquisitions team, so the person who reads your file is the person who prices it, and the same method applies whether the house needs paint or a full gut.

How Do We Calculate a Cash Offer on a High Point House?
One method, shown to you before you sign.
We start with what the house would sell for once repaired (the after-repair value), subtract the cost of the work, and then subtract a margin that covers holding costs, closing costs, and resale risk. The remainder is the offer. Try your own numbers in the cash offer calculator or read the full offer breakdown.
Illustration: two High Point houses at the median value
High Point's median property value was $235,800 in 2024, up 11% from $212,400 the year before, and median household income was $64,561 (Data USA, American Community Survey 2024). Say a house at that value needs a roof, HVAC, and updated electrical. An after-repair value near $235,800, less $38,000 in repairs and $29,000 for margin, holding, and closing costs, points to an offer near $168,800. A cosmetic-only house at the same value (paint, flooring, yard cleanup) might be $235,800 less $9,000 in repairs and $24,000 in costs and margin, or roughly $202,800. These are examples of the method and not quotes. Your number comes from sales near your address and a repair scope for your house.
What Is the Difference Between a Cash Sale and Listing in High Point?
What each route costs and how long it takes.
A move-in-ready house with months to spare can net more on the open market. When time, condition, or certainty matter more than the last few percent, cash is usually the better fit. Compare both in the cash offer vs. listing calculator.
What Is Different About Selling a House in High Point?
Where we buy in High Point and the Piedmont Triad
High Point housing changes block by block. Near downtown and the furniture showroom district you find older frame and brick houses with plaster walls, original wiring, and roofs that have been patched more than once. Mid-century ranches and split-levels fill many of the established streets, and newer subdivisions sit toward the edges of the city and in neighboring Jamestown, Archdale, Trinity, and Thomasville, where septic systems and wells can enter the repair math. Homeownership in High Point was 57.8% in 2024, so rentals and landlord-owned houses are a large share of what we see (Data USA). We price from sales near your address and a repair scope for your house, not a citywide number. Send the address and we will tell you plainly whether it fits.
High Point Market week: the Fall 2026 market runs October 17 to 21
High Point is the home of the furniture showroom district, and the Fall 2026 High Point Market runs October 17 to 21, with more than 11,500,000 square feet of showroom space (High Point Market Authority). If you are planning to list, that week is a reason to think about when buyers and agents have the time to look. A cash sale takes that scheduling out of the picture: there are no showings to fit around Market traffic, and you choose the closing date. We do not change our method for Market week. The offer comes from nearby sales and the repair scope, whatever the calendar says.
High Point sits in four counties, so check which one your house is in
The city spans parts of Guilford, Randolph, and Forsyth counties. Guilford County's own rate table lists separate codes for High Point parcels in Randolph and Forsyth counties, which means the county that bills your taxes, records your deed, and holds any foreclosure case may not be Guilford (Guilford County Tax Department). Look at your tax bill or parcel record before you call the register of deeds or the clerk. We buy in all of them, and the closing attorney records the deed with the correct county.
Your 2026-27 tax bill: 78.95 cents county plus 73.49 cents city
Guilford County's 2026-2027 rate table lists a countywide rate of 78.95 cents per $100 and a City of High Point rate of 73.49 cents, for a combined 152.44 cents on High Point parcels in Guilford County (Guilford County Tax Department). On a house assessed at the 2024 median value of $235,800, that works out to about $3,594 a year. That is an illustration, not a bill, because assessments differ from market values. High Point parcels in Randolph and Forsyth counties show the city rate of 73.49 cents on Guilford's table, and the county on top of that bills separately. If the numbers have you unsure what the house is worth or what you will owe, a written cash offer takes 24 hours.
When Guilford County property taxes become delinquent
State law makes property taxes due September 1 and charges interest on taxes paid on or after January 6: 2% from January 6 to February 1, then three quarters of one percent for each month after that (G.S. 105-360). As of October 19, 2026, January 6 is 79 days away. If you are behind, the back taxes, interest, and penalties come out of closing proceeds, so you do not write a check first. The foreclosure of a tax lien is an action in the nature of a mortgage foreclosure, and anyone redeeming before the sale is confirmed must pay the taxes due plus penalties, interest, and costs (G.S. 105-374). A cash closing settles that balance from proceeds, so the equity stays with you.
Foreclosure sales at the Guilford County Courthouse: the 10-day upset bid period
A lender foreclosing on a High Point mortgage uses power of sale, so the case moves through the Clerk of Superior Court and not a full trial. The notice of hearing must be served at least 10 days before the hearing (G.S. 45-21.16). Guilford County's foreclosure page says the winning bidder deposits 20% of the bid, sales are held at the courthouse at 201 S. Eugene Street in Greensboro, and the property stays open to upset bids for 10 days, each raising the last bid by 5% or $750, whichever is greater, made in person at the Clerk of Court (Guilford County foreclosure sales; G.S. 45-21.27). The window that favors you is before the sale, when a cash buyer can pay the loan off in full and the remaining equity goes to you. Our foreclosure guide explains the timing.
Recording the deed: what North Carolina charges
The seller owes the deed excise tax of $1 per $500 of price, or fraction of $500, to the register of deeds before the deed is recorded (G.S. 105-228.30). On a $235,800 sale that is $472. Recording a general instrument costs $26 for the first 15 pages and $4 for each additional page (G.S. 161-10). Your closing attorney handles the recording. In a sale to Home Pros, the excise tax and the attorney's fee are ours, so neither comes out of your check.
Inherited a High Point house with no will?
North Carolina's small-estate affidavit lets someone collect personal property worth $20,000 or less, at least 30 days after a death, without opening an estate (G.S. 28A-25-1). It reaches bank balances and vehicles, not a house. Real estate normally needs an estate opened with the Clerk of Superior Court so a personal representative can sign the deed. We can give the family a written offer now and schedule closing for when that authority exists. Our North Carolina inherited house guide covers the steps.
Selling as-is does not erase the disclosure form
North Carolina's Residential Property Disclosure Act (Chapter 47E) covers most private sales of one-to-four-family homes. The owner either discloses what they know or states that no representations are made about the property's condition. Court-ordered transfers, including estate administration, and foreclosure sales are exempt. Because we price a house as-is from the first offer, there is no inspection renegotiation to worry about, whichever option you choose.
A closing attorney runs every High Point closing
Under the State Bar's Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2002-1, laypersons may not handle the closing of a residential real estate transaction in North Carolina, so an attorney does the title work, prepares the deed, and disburses funds. With Home Pros we cover that fee, there is no lender underwriting to wait on, and you choose the date. Title sets the pace: a clean chain can close in about a week, while an unreleased deed of trust or an unopened estate adds time. We tell you what we find before you commit.
What High Point Situations Do We Buy In?
Whatever is going on, we can usually find a way to work with it.
Inherited a house
Heirs living in another state can skip the cleanout, repairs, and showings on a property nobody plans to keep. Read the inherited house guide.
Facing foreclosure
Paying off the loan in a cash closing before the sale protects the equity that is left. See how it works.
Behind on property taxes
Back taxes, interest, and penalties are paid from closing proceeds, so you never write a check first.
Tired landlords and rentals
A rented house can sell as-is, with no eviction or lease buyout needed beforehand. Selling with tenants.
Divorce
A neutral cash sale can make splitting proceeds simpler when neither person wants to keep the house. Divorce sale guide.
Code violations and deferred repairs
Aging systems, open permits, and citations are priced into the offer instead of fixed by you first.
Storm or water damage
Roof leaks, flooded crawlspaces, and failed systems are priced into the offer, so you do not need bids or a finished scope first.
Older or vacant houses
Empty houses with old wiring, plaster, or crawlspace moisture are common here, and we price them as they stand.
High Point Seller FAQ
Do you really buy houses in any condition in High Point?
Yes. We buy High Point houses as-is, including roof leaks, aging wiring, settled foundations, crawlspace moisture, fire or water damage, deferred maintenance, and homes still full of furniture. You do not repair, clean out, or stage anything. The condition is built into a written offer, and we walk you through the math before you sign.
How fast can I sell my High Point house for cash?
You get a no-obligation offer within 24 hours of sending your address and details. Once you accept, we can close in as little as 7 days or on a date you pick, and most closings land between 14 and 30 days. In North Carolina the closing attorney's title work usually sets the pace.
What does it cost to sell to Home Pros in Guilford County?
Nothing out of pocket. There is no agent, so no commission, and we pay the closing attorney and the deed excise tax. The price in your contract is what you receive, minus any mortgage, lien, or unpaid property tax that has to be paid off from the proceeds.
How much is the excise tax when I sell a house in High Point?
North Carolina charges $1 for each $500 of the price, or fraction of $500, payable to the register of deeds before the deed is recorded (G.S. 105-228.30). On High Point's 2024 median property value of $235,800 that is $472. In a sale to Home Pros, that tax is on our side of the closing.
What is the 2026-27 property tax rate in High Point?
Guilford County lists a countywide rate of 78.95 cents per $100 and a City of High Point rate of 73.49 cents, for a combined 152.44 cents on parcels in the Guilford County part of the city. Parts of High Point in Randolph and Forsyth counties are listed with the city rate of 73.49 cents, and the county bills for those parts separately.
When do Guilford County property taxes become delinquent?
Taxes are due September 1 and interest starts January 6, at 2% through the end of January and three quarters of one percent per month after that (G.S. 105-360). If you are behind, back taxes, interest, and penalties are paid from closing proceeds, so you do not write a check first.
How do foreclosure sales and upset bids work in Guilford County?
Guilford County says the winning bidder at a foreclosure sale deposits 20% of the bid, and anyone may raise the bid during the 10-day upset period by 5% or $750, whichever is greater, in person at the Clerk of Court in Greensboro. Paying the loan off with a cash closing before the sale keeps the equity that is left.
What if my High Point house is in mortgage foreclosure?
North Carolina uses power of sale, so the lender goes through the Clerk of Superior Court, with notice of the hearing served at least 10 days before it (G.S. 45-21.16). A cash buyer can pay the loan off in full before the sale, and the remaining equity goes to you.
I inherited a High Point house. Do I need probate to sell it?
Usually yes, because someone needs authority to sign the deed. North Carolina's small-estate affidavit (G.S. 28A-25-1) covers personal property up to $20,000 and does not move real estate. We can put a written offer in front of the family now and schedule closing for after the estate is opened.
Do I still need a disclosure form if I sell as-is?
For most private sales of one-to-four-family homes, yes. Chapter 47E requires the owner to complete the disclosure statement or state that no representations are made about the property's condition. Court-ordered transfers, including estate administration, and foreclosure sales are exempt. A sale to Home Pros is priced as-is from the first offer.
