Westmoreland is a big, settled county. It covers 1,027.71 square miles, holds 349,324 people, and 78.4% of its homes are owner-occupied. 92.3% of residents lived in the same house a year earlier, and 26.7% (more than one in four) are 65 or older (Census QuickFacts, 2020–2024 ACS and 2025 estimates). Houses here tend to stay in one family for a long time, and when they change hands it’s often because of an estate, a move to be near children, or a house that has simply outlasted the people who looked after it.
There’s one more Westmoreland fact that shapes almost every conversation about price, and it isn’t on most sellers’ radar.
Your tax bill is written in 1973 dollars
That line isn’t a figure of speech. The county’s Board of Assessment Appeals puts it this way in its own rules: “Westmoreland County utilizes a base valuation year for assessment of 1973, with a stated ratio of assessment to market value of 100%. Your assessment is therefore expressed in 1973 dollars” (Westmoreland County, Rules of Appeal Procedure).
The state keeps its own measure of how far those numbers have drifted. Each year Pennsylvania’s Department of Revenue publishes a common level ratio factor for every county. The factors are, in the Department’s words, “the mathematical reciprocals of the actual common level ratio.” For documents dated July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, Westmoreland’s factor is 11.49. Allegheny County, next door, is 2.03 (PA Department of Revenue, 2025 CLR factors).
Do the division and Westmoreland assessments work out, on average, to under a tenth of what property actually sells for. Three practical consequences for a seller:
- The assessment tells you nothing about price. Not a ceiling, not a floor. Read as a price, the average Westmoreland assessment would be off by a factor of more than eleven.
- Comparing bills isn’t comparing houses. The county’s assessment office says it keeps the system current by reviewing “all building and demolition permits” and doing “field review of construction and demolitions” (Tax Assessment office). So an assessment moves when something is built, torn down or appealed, not when the market moves.
- If anyone (us included) points at the assessment to justify an offer, push back. A price comes from what comparable Westmoreland houses have recently sold for, and we’ll show you which ones we used.
What the assessment does or doesn’t mean for your taxes, an appeal, or an estate’s paperwork is a question for a tax professional or the county’s assessment office. We’re only telling you not to let it set your expectations.
The long-held house, and what it costs to wait
With more than a quarter of the county over 65, a lot of Westmoreland sales start with a family house that has been paid off for decades. The median cost of carrying a Westmoreland home with no mortgage (taxes, insurance and basic utilities) was $572 a month in the 2020–2024 survey; in Greensburg itself it was $489. Those are medians, not your bill, but they’re a fair picture of what an empty house quietly costs while an estate is settled or a family decides what to do.
The county median value of an owner-occupied home was $203,500; in the city of Greensburg, $184,100. Again: context, not a valuation.
Greensburg isn’t Murrysville, and neither is Monessen
A county this size is several markets. Greensburg is the county seat, where 55.0% of homes are owner-occupied and the population fell 3.2% from 2020 to mid-2025. Murrysville and North Huntingdon are commuter suburbs toward Pittsburgh. Latrobe, Jeannette, Mount Pleasant and Scottdale are older boroughs with their own main streets. The Mon Valley and Alle-Kiski towns (Monessen, New Kensington, Arnold, Lower Burrell) each have their own price levels. We price a house by where it actually sits and what actually sold nearby, not by a county-wide average.

Cash sale, or list it?
List it if the house is updated, you can wait, and you want the most the open market will pay. An agent will usually beat a cash offer on a house like that, and we’ll tell you so.
Sell for cash if it needs a roof, a furnace or a full clean-out; if it’s an estate and the heirs live out of state; if it’s been vacant; or if nobody wants to manage months of showings. You give up some price in exchange for speed and a fixed timeline.
How it works
Call or text 267-388-0347 with the address, the condition, and whether it’s part of an estate. We look at comparable Westmoreland sales and the house itself. You get an initial cash offer, confirmed after a quick walkthrough; if real condition or title changes the number, a person tells you what and why. A licensed, neutral title company closes the sale and handles the funds. There are no fees or commissions to you, and we work out closing costs as part of each deal. Any mortgage or lien is paid from the proceeds, as it would be in any sale. Closing is 30 days or less, with flexible dates.

Greensburg & Westmoreland County FAQ
Why is my assessment so low compared with what houses sell for?
Because Westmoreland assesses in 1973 dollars. The state’s own factor for the county is 11.49, so the assessed figure is a small fraction of market value. It isn’t a price.
Will you base your offer on the assessed value?
No. We use recent comparable sales and the condition of the house, and we’ll tell you which sales we looked at.
The house is full of my parents’ belongings. Do we have to empty it?
No. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest.
The estate isn’t settled yet. Is it too early to call?
No. You can talk to us before the estate is settled; what the estate can sign, and when, is a question for its attorney.
There’s a tenant in the house. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place, on the leases as written.
Do you buy outside Greensburg?
Yes. Across Westmoreland County and the rest of Pennsylvania. For Allegheny County, see our Pittsburgh page.
Is your offer firm?
It’s an initial offer, confirmed after a quick walkthrough. If something material changes it, we explain exactly what changed.
