City of Manassas homes I buy
A Manassas mailing address can belong to three governments: the City of Manassas, the City of Manassas Park or Prince William County. This page is for homes inside the City of Manassas. Not sure? See my City of Manassas vs. Manassas address guide.
| Area | Typical housing | What I usually see |
|---|---|---|
| Historic Downtown and nearby streets | Victorian, Queen Anne and early 1900s houses, plus older bungalows | Original plaster, old wiring, porches and wood siding that need work, design-review limits |
| Georgetown South | About 860 townhouses near Grant Avenue and Wellington Road, built starting in 1964 as affordable housing (InsideNova) | Original kitchens and baths, HOA resale packets, rentals |
| 1960s to 1980s subdivisions around the city | Ramblers, split-levels, colonials and townhouses | Aging roofs and HVAC, dated interiors, long-time owners |
| Newer infill and townhouse communities | 1990s to today | Relocation, divorce, HOA violations |
City of Manassas details that affect a cash sale
City taxes
The City Council cut the FY 2027 rate by 2 cents to $1.24 per $100: a $1.05 general rate plus the $0.19 fire and rescue levy (Potomac Local). City taxes are prorated at settlement and paid to the city treasurer, not the county.
City-owned utilities
The City of Manassas runs its own electric, water and sewer utility, so your final bills come from the city rather than Dominion Energy. The title company orders the final readings, and any balance is paid from your proceeds. Leave the power on until closing; I take over the account from there.
Historic district design review
Exterior work on homes in the city’s historic district, such as new siding, windows or a porch rebuild, generally needs design approval first. That can make repairs slow and expensive. I buy the house as it stands and take on that process myself.
Probate
Estates of City of Manassas residents are probated at the Prince William Circuit Court, which sits in the city on Lee Avenue. Read my inherited house guide for the steps.
What you skip when I buy your Manassas house
No repairs
Roof leaks, old HVAC, water damage, a kitchen from 1975. I buy the house as it stands today and never send you a repair list.
No showings
One walkthrough, in person or by video. No open houses, no lockbox traffic, no keeping the house spotless for strangers.
No cleanout
Take the things you want and leave the rest: furniture, the garage, the attic. I handle the cleanout after closing.
No commission
You pay no commission when you sell to me. The settlement statement shows every line before you sign.
No inspection contingency
I see the house once and make a written offer. It is not renegotiated over items a home inspector would find.
No closing costs
I pay your closing costs. Your mortgage and any liens are paid off from the sale proceeds at settlement.
How it works
Three steps, no pressure and no obligation. You decide on the offer and the closing date.
Tell me about the house
Use the form, call 703-596-5065 or text 910-382-0029. Address and phone are enough to start. I text back within 15 minutes, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

One visit, in person or by video. Nothing needs to be cleaned or fixed first. Your written cash offer arrives within 24 hours, with the nearby sales I used.
Close in 7 days or on your date
Settle at a licensed title company or settlement attorney in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Proceeds are wired to you at closing.

All of the City of Manassas, from Historic Downtown and Georgetown South to the neighborhoods along Grant Avenue, Wellington Road, Sudley Road and Liberia Avenue.

Selling a house in Manassas: questions
Is my Manassas house in the city or the county?
Check your real estate tax bill. If it comes from the City of Manassas, this page applies. Homes in Yorkshire, Sudley, Bull Run and Linton Hall often have Manassas addresses but are in Prince William County, and Manassas Park is a separate city.
What is the City of Manassas real estate tax rate for FY 2027?
$1.24 per $100 of assessed value: a $1.05 general rate plus a $0.19 fire and rescue levy. Taxes are prorated at settlement.
How are city electric and water bills handled when I sell?
Because the city runs its own electric, water and sewer utility, the title company requests final readings from the city and pays any balance from your proceeds. You keep service on until closing.
Can you buy a historic downtown Manassas home that needs exterior work?
Yes. Exterior repairs in the historic district usually need design approval, which can slow a traditional sale. I buy as-is and handle the approvals myself after closing.
Do you buy Georgetown South townhouses?
Yes. Many Georgetown South townhouses date to the mid-1960s and still have original kitchens and baths. I order the HOA resale packet the day we sign and price any open items into my offer.
Will the offer change after I accept?
Not unless something material and undisclosed turns up, such as an unknown lien, a title problem or hidden structural damage. My offer is made after I have seen the house, so the things you would expect a buyer to find are already priced in. If anything changes, I explain it in writing with the reason, and you are free to walk away.
What does it cost me to sell to you?
No commission and no closing costs; I pay those. What comes out of the proceeds is what you already owe on the house: your mortgage payoff, any liens, and prorated property taxes or HOA dues. The settlement statement lists every line before you sign.
How fast can we close, and can I choose a later date?
I can close in as little as 7 days when title is clear, or on any later date you choose. Estates, liens and HOA resale packets can add time, and you will know about any delay before you sign anything.
Should I have my own realtor or attorney look at your offer?
I recommend it. Because I am the buyer, I cannot advise you on whether to accept. Your own realtor or attorney can review the contract and the numbers at your cost, and I am glad to answer their questions.
