How Propcash stacks up against other ways to sell a Morgantown house
That's us
If you have time and the house shows well, listing with an agent may net you more. If you want it done without repairs or showings, that is where we come in. We tell you straight either way.
Why do Morgantown homeowners sell their houses for cash?
A rental year that will not wait, hillside repairs, a house shared among heirs, and a job with a start date are the usual reasons Monongalia County owners call Propcash.
Done being a student landlord
The August turnover, the midnight repair calls, and a lease that never runs out at a convenient moment eventually catch up with an owner. Sell your rental with tenants in place, no eviction needed. Tired landlord guide.
Repairs you cannot fund before listing
A retaining wall on its way out, a private drive that has slipped, a roof near the end of its life. Sell a house that needs major repairs without lining up a single contractor or losing money to inspection credits.
An inherited house split among heirs
Did a South Park or Greenmont house end up split among relatives you hardly know? We help heirs sell an inherited house with no cleanout, no repair bills to cover, and every share bought in a single closing.
A transfer with a hard start date
WVU, WVU Medicine, and the labs on the Mileground all move people on dates that do not care about a 56-day median. We can close before you go. Relocation selling guide.
Retiring and moving to something smaller
After decades on a hill with thirty steps to the front door, a smaller place closer to family wins. Sell a house you are downsizing out of without staging it or holding it open for two months.
A divorce that needs one clean number
A listing binds two people to each other for a full season in a market that moves this slowly. Sell a house during a divorce in one move, with a single number and the figures open to both parties. Divorce selling guide.

Morgantown neighborhoods, campus to the ridgelines
Morgantown is two markets sharing one set of hills. Streets within walking distance of campus are priced on rent per bedroom, and everything past the Mileground is priced like a normal small city. Which side your house sits on decides who can finance it.
The rental belt: Sunnyside, South Park, and Wiles Hill
WVU's Morgantown campus enrolled a full headcount of 23,532 students in Fall 2025 in a city whose population WVU puts at 30,855 (WVU Facts, Fall 2025). That ratio explains Sunnyside, where early-1900s frame houses have been rented by the room for decades, and it reaches into South Park and Wiles Hill, where large old houses were cut into units. These are the houses with twenty years of tenant wear and an owner who has stopped enjoying August.
Downtown, First Ward, Greenmont, and Woodburn
The older city grid between High Street and the river holds narrow lots, brick and frame houses from the coal and glass era, and street parking that is its own negotiation. Greenmont sits low along Deckers Creek and Woodburn climbs the hill behind campus. Both carry pre-1940 systems, and an appraiser will find knob-and-tube, a converted coal furnace, or a foundation repointed twice.
Evansdale, Suncrest, and the Mileground
North of downtown, Evansdale wraps the second campus and the hospital complex, and Suncrest runs into mid-century and newer subdivisions where WVU and WVU Medicine staff buy. This is the steadiest part of the market and the part where a slow sale hurts most, because these sellers are usually moving for a job with a date attached.
Star City, Westover, Granville, Sabraton, and Cheat Lake
Across the river, Star City, Westover, and Granville are separate municipalities trading at Morgantown prices with their own tax tickets. Sabraton runs east along Deckers Creek with older working stock, and Cheat Lake spreads onto steep wooded lots where private drives, retaining walls, and septic come up on every inspection. Our West Virginia cash home buyer page covers the rest of the county and every other corner of the state.
Sell your Morgantown house in any condition
Steep ground and heavy tenancy create problems that scare off financed buyers: slipping fill and cracked retaining walls, twenty years of student wear, pre-1940 systems, a private drive nobody wants to maintain. We aren't scared.
Sell as-is and move on.
- Hillside movement
A foundation that has settled, fill that has slipped, retaining walls leaning out of true, and drainage aimed at the house rather than away from it.
- Student rental wear
Two decades of tenants, worn floors, tired kitchens, and a lease that still has months to run.
- Pre-1940 systems
Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply lines, and furnaces converted from coal decades ago.
- Parking and access problems
Steep driveways, shared private roads, and street frontage that fails a lender's appraisal.
- Houses shared among heirs
Undivided shares from an estate that was never settled, spread across relatives out of state.

Read the guideWhat Morgantown sellers are up against
Selling a Morgantown house the traditional way means the buyer's lender, the buyer's appraiser, and in the rental belt the academic calendar all get a vote before closing. We price around that rather than asking you to fix it.
The academic year, not the housing year, sets the clock
This is what makes Morgantown different from every other West Virginia market. WVU's Morgantown campus carried a full headcount of 23,532 students in Fall 2025 in a city WVU puts at 30,855 people (WVU Facts, Fall 2025), so leases sign in the winter and turn in August, and a rental is worth most to a buyer who can take it fully leased. Put that against a market where the median house needs 56 days just to go under contract (Redfin, June 2026) and a spring listing can land its closing in the worst possible week. A cash closing on a date you choose takes that risk off the table, and we buy with tenants in place.
An inherited house here often has more owners than the deed suggests
Monongalia County estates were often never fully closed out, so ownership of a single house can end up split among relatives spread across several states, each holding an undivided piece. Under West Virginia law, a tenant in common, a joint tenant, or a coparcener can ask the circuit court of the county to partition the property (W. Va. Code §37-4-1), and if it cannot practically be divided, the court can order it sold outright with the money split by ownership share (W. Va. Code §37-4-3). That process is slow, and it plays out in public. Buying every share in a single transaction, which is what we would rather do, skips all of that. Inherited-property guide.
Assessment, the homestead exemption, and a trustee's sale
Every West Virginia parcel gets assessed each July 1 at sixty percent of its true and actual value (W. Va. Code §11-3-1), and owners age sixty-five or older, or certified permanently and totally disabled, have the first $20,000 of assessed value exempted on the house they occupy (W. Va. Code §11-6B-3). Foreclosure follows a far quicker, quieter path: once a borrower defaults, the deed-of-trust trustee can sell after notice is given (W. Va. Code §38-1-3), run as a Class II legal advertisement and mailed to the borrower (W. Va. Code §38-1-4), with no courtroom involved at any point. Our foreclosure guide walks through the options.
Are cash home buyers in Morgantown legit?
Legitimate cash home buyers work across Morgantown, and so do bad actors. So who is actually buying houses for cash here? Local rehabbers, the student-rental owners who already hold half of Sunnyside, out-of-area buyers chasing WVU, and national direct buyers like Propcash. On every purchase we act as the principal buyer: the agreement carries our name, you get the offer in writing, and closing takes place through a West Virginia title company.
How to vet a cash home buyer in Morgantown
A legitimate buyer will have proof of funds ready, will commit the offer to writing, and will never ask a seller for money before closing. Be cautious of anyone pressing you to sign the moment they see the house, or anyone who brushes off the lease file on a tenanted property, since in this market the leases make up a large part of what the house is worth. Our guides to the 10 questions to ask any cash buyer and the red flags to watch for apply to every buyer working Monongalia County, us included.
What Morgantown house sellers want to know before selling
How is Propcash different from Morgantown "we buy houses" companies?
Most "we buy houses" outfits hand you one take-it-or-leave-it number and hope nobody measures it. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we price your Morgantown house against Monongalia County market data, show how we reached the figure, and can close quickly and confidently.
Are cash home buyers in Morgantown legit?
Legitimate cash home buyers do work in Morgantown, and so do bad actors, and a market where houses take roughly eight weeks to sell draws operators who trade on that impatience. A real buyer will show proof of funds, put the number in writing, and close through a West Virginia title company or attorney. Propcash does each of those, and we never collect anything from a seller upfront.
I need to sell my house fast in Morgantown. How quickly can that happen?
A cash closing here can happen in as few as 7 days, and most Monongalia County deals we handle wrap up somewhere between 10 and 14 days once the title work is back. Weigh that against the local norm: the median Morgantown house needed 61 days just to go under contract in the three months ending August 2026. Nothing about our offer expires, so how fast this moves is entirely your call.
Do you buy student rental houses near WVU?
Yes, and we buy them with the tenants still in place, so there is no eviction to arrange and no need to wait out a lease running until May. WVU's Morgantown campus carried a full headcount of 23,532 students in Fall 2025 against a city population WVU puts at 30,855, which is exactly why Sunnyside, South Park, and the streets off the Mileground function as rental blocks before they function as neighborhoods. Heavy wear, tired kitchens, and months left on a lease are all fine by us.
Can you close around the WVU academic calendar?
Yes, and in Morgantown that is usually the whole question. A rental changes hands cleanly either right after the August turn or well before the spring signing season, and a traditional listing at a 56-day median gives you very little control over which side of that you land on. Tell us the lease dates and the closing date you want, and we will work to them or tell you plainly if they do not fit.
Will you buy my house on a steep Morgantown hillside?
Yes. Morgantown is built on ridges above the Monongahela River, so settling foundations, leaning retaining walls, slipping fill, private drives, and drainage running toward the house below are ordinary here rather than unusual. A financed buyer often walks away once an engineer flags it. We price the slope into our offer and take the house in the condition it is actually in.
How do I sell an inherited Morgantown house when several heirs own a share?
A lot of Monongalia County houses have been divided among heirs without the underlying estate ever getting fully closed out, leaving relatives in different states each holding a fractional share. West Virginia lets a tenant in common, joint tenant, or coparcener ask the circuit court to partition the property (W. Va. Code §37-4-1), and when a fair division is not practical, the court can order the whole property sold instead (W. Va. Code §37-4-3). Buying every share in one closing, which we would rather do, is usually quicker and much less public than going through a partition suit.
How does a West Virginia trustee's sale work if I am facing foreclosure?
Nothing about a West Virginia foreclosure goes through a courtroom; there is no lawsuit and no judge involved. A default lets the deed-of-trust trustee sell the property once notice is issued (W. Va. Code §38-1-3), published as a Class II legal advertisement and mailed to the borrower by certified mail (W. Va. Code §38-1-4). Because the process runs straight to the trustee's deed with no redemption window afterward, everything before the sale date is the time you actually have. Get us that date as soon as possible and we will tell you plainly whether closing fits. Propcash is not a law firm, so confirm your own dates with a West Virginia attorney.
I am retiring from WVU and downsizing. What happens to my property taxes?
Every West Virginia parcel is assessed each July 1 at sixty percent of its true and actual value (W. Va. Code §11-3-1), which explains why the figure on a Monongalia County tax ticket rarely resembles a sale price. Owners age sixty-five or older, or certified permanently and totally disabled, have the first $20,000 of assessed value exempted on the house they occupy (W. Va. Code §11-6B-3). Propcash is not a tax adviser, so check how a move would affect your own exemption before relying on it.
How much will Propcash offer for my Morgantown house?
Our offer depends on the neighborhood, the condition, slope and access, whether the house is owner-occupied or tenanted, any open estate or back taxes, and what comparable Monongalia County houses are actually closing at. We price it from local market data and walk you through the reasoning behind the number. There is never pressure to accept. Read about how cash buyers calculate offers.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. Propcash charges no agent commissions, no closing costs, no inspection fees, and carries no fine print with hidden charges buried in it. Selling to us costs sellers nothing because we are the buyer, so our margin comes from the deal itself rather than from anything billed to you. The offer you accept is the amount you walk away with at closing.
Do you buy houses in all Morgantown neighborhoods?
Yes. We buy throughout Morgantown, including Downtown and First Ward (26505), Sunnyside (26505), South Park and Westover (26501), Evansdale (26506), Star City (26505), Suncrest and the Mileground (26505), Sabraton and Cheat Lake (26508), and Granville (26534). We also buy in the rest of Monongalia County and in Preston, Marion, and Taylor County.
