Sell Your District Heights or Capitol Heights House As-Is
District Heights and Capitol Heights sit side by side just outside the D.C. line in central Prince George’s. Both are small incorporated places with their own local taxes, and both carry mailing addresses that reach well beyond their town limits. I’m Evan Weissman. I buy houses here for cash in any condition, and I’ll list yours when the open market will pay more.
Call or text (410) 498-7473, or request a cash offer.
Brick Ramblers and Cape Cods
Most houses I walk through here were built from the 1930s through the 1960s: brick and frame Cape Cods, small ramblers, some duplexes, and rows of brick homes near Pennsylvania Avenue and Marlboro Pike. Lots are modest, streets are close together, and many houses have had a few owners and a few rounds of patch-up work.
The repairs repeat: roofs, original electrical, old boilers or furnaces, basements with water and kitchens from decades ago. You can leave all of it. I price the work in and handle it after I buy.
I’ll look at almost any house: single-family, townhome, row, twin, or multi-family, any age, any condition, any situation.
Town Taxes and Metro Access
District Heights is a city with its own property tax, 0.692 per $100 in SDAT’s 2026-27 table. Capitol Heights is a town with a lower rate, 0.3348. Plenty of 20743 and 20747 addresses are outside either one, so check your tax bill before we compare numbers. The Blue Line stops at Capitol Heights and Addison Road, which helps houses within walking distance.
Because these communities border D.C., some buyers compare them to city neighborhoods across Southern Avenue. I keep the comps on the Maryland side.
Records for These Sales
Estates go through the Prince George’s Register of Wills at 14735 Main Street in Upper Marlboro. The county tax sale was May 11 in 2026 per SDAT. Single-family rentals in the county need a rental license.
Three Ways to Sell
Option 1: Sell it to me as it stands
No repairs, no cleanout and no showings. I pay no commission on my purchase, and closing happens on your timeline.
Option 2: Let me list it
A renovated house near the Metro can attract several buyers. Listing costs a commission and time, so I’ll write out the net both ways.
Option 3: Renovate and Sell Together
Where it fits, Evan can handle and pay for the updates under a written agreement, then sell on the open market. The cost of that work is repaid at settlement. You keep ownership until the sale. There is no guaranteed sale price or profit. Review any agreement with your own attorney before you sign.
I renovate most houses I buy with my own crew, and if I partner with another local buyer on yours, I’ll tell you before you sign.
Side-by-side paths: cash offer vs listing in Maryland.
Behind on Mortgage Payments
If you are behind on your mortgage or facing foreclosure, start with free help before you decide anything. A HUD-approved housing counselor costs nothing and can walk you through options with your servicer, such as catching up, a repayment plan, forbearance, or a loan modification. The Maryland HOPE hotline, 1-877-462-7555, connects homeowners with those counselors. If you have court papers or a sale date, I also recommend talking with a Maryland attorney. I can’t promise to stop a foreclosure, and I won’t pressure you. If you and your counselor decide a sale makes sense, I’ll put a cash number next to a listing plan so you can compare.
