We buy houses in Anacostia
Built for how Anacostia homes really sell.
Anacostia sits east of the river in Ward 8, where the housing is older and lighter than the brick rowhomes that define the rest of DC. Its Uniontown core, Historic Anacostia, is lined with two-story wood-frame and brick cottages in Italianate and row-house styles, while Fairlawn, Hillsdale, and the rebuilt Barry Farm area each carry a different mix. Median sale prices here run near $254,000 against a citywide figure above $700,000, and because much of the historic district falls under design review, an owner facing deferred maintenance or a tangled title can spend months getting a house list-ready.
Nobu Holdings buys Anacostia houses in as-is condition and puts one cash number in front of you, with the comps that produced it laid out in plain terms. A dedicated local operator walks the property, so the offer reflects the block and the repairs rather than a formula. There are no agent commissions, no service fees, and no repairs or showings to arrange first. Because the sale carries no financing contingency, you can close at a local title company in as little as 14 days, on a date you choose.

Local questions
Selling a house in Anacostia - questions we hear
Do you buy houses in Historic Anacostia that fall under design review?
Yes. Much of Historic Anacostia is a protected historic district, so exterior work runs through the DC Historic Preservation Office and can stall a renovation for months. We buy the house as-is and skip that path entirely, because we are not asking you to improve the exterior before closing.
Will you buy a vacant Anacostia property that is being taxed at the vacant rate?
Yes, and that is often the reason owners call. DC taxes vacant property in Class 3 at $5.00 per $100 of value and blighted property in Class 4 at $10.00, far above the residential rate. A fast cash sale stops that meter instead of letting it run.
I inherited a rowhome east of the river. Can you still buy it during probate?
Yes. Inherited Anacostia homes are common, and DC handles probate through the Superior Court's Probate Division and the Register of Wills. We work on the estate's timeline and close once it can convey clear title, so you are not carrying the house while the paperwork clears.
Do I have to deal with tenant purchase rights if my Anacostia house is rented?
For most single-family homes, no. DC exempted single-family houses from the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act back in 2018, so a rented single-family sale is not held up the way a larger building can be. We confirm how the exemption applies to your specific property first.
