What Colonial Heights sellers
should know
-
Most homes here were built before 1978
The city's comprehensive plan says about 80% of its housing predates 1978 and about 10% predates 1940, with little built in the last decade. Expect buyers to pay close attention to the age of the roof, wiring and plumbing.
-
Violet Bank-Flora Hill and Shepherd Stadium
These two planning districts hold most of the city's pre-1940 houses, and the plan lists deteriorated buildings and frequent property maintenance violations there. The city has made both its top revitalization areas. If you sell in either, it pays to fix code items before buyers find them.
-
Fort Lee shapes the local market
The plan describes nearby Fort Lee as an active duty, multi-services training facility with a major effect on the local economy. About 36% of the city's occupied homes were rented in 2018, so rental demand is part of the local picture.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Colonial Heights?
When a cash sale is the right fit, we can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Listing with an agent usually takes longer: Colonial Heights homes have recently sold in about 20 days, plus time to close.
Do you buy older homes that need work?
We'll look at any Colonial Heights home, including older houses that need repairs. The city's comprehensive plan says about 80% of its housing was built before 1978, so original roofs, windows and systems are common, and some owners would rather sell as-is than fix up first.
What is the property tax in Colonial Heights?
The City of Colonial Heights' real estate tax rate is $1.20 per $100 of assessed value. Your bill is based on your home's assessed value, which can differ from what it would sell for.
