What Knightdale homeowners should know
Knightdale sits just east of Raleigh along US-64, and it’s one of the fastest-growing towns in Wake County. Old Town Knightdale near the original railroad depot has small older homes from the town’s early-1900s roots, but most of the town’s housing was built from the 1990s through the 2010s, as new subdivisions filled in the farmland between the old town center and the Neuse River. New construction has continued through the 2020s, which means an older resale home in Knightdale is competing against a steady supply of move-in-ready new builds nearby. Wake County’s 2024 revaluation pushed assessed values, and tax bills, higher across the town, adding to the cost of holding a home that needs repairs or has sat vacant. For an inherited house or a rental that needs work, that mix of rising taxes and new-construction competition makes a fast as-is sale worth considering.

Why Knightdale owners sell as-is
Competing with a steady supply of new construction
Knightdale has had new subdivisions under construction for most of the past two decades, and that pace hasn’t let up. An older resale home often has to compete on price against move-in-ready new builds nearby, which can mean a longer time on market or price cuts for a house that needs updating.
Wake County’s 2024 revaluation
Like the rest of Wake County, Knightdale’s property values were reset as of January 1, 2024, and many owners saw higher assessed values and bigger tax bills as a result. That change hits hardest for owners of older or vacant homes, where the tax bill keeps climbing even if the property isn’t generating income.
Older Old Town homes needing updates
The homes closest to Knightdale’s original town center date back to the early 1900s railroad era and are older than almost anything else in town. These houses more often need roof, plumbing or electrical work than the newer subdivisions surrounding them, which is where an as-is sale can save the cost of a full renovation.

Selling a house for cash in Knightdale
Can an older home in Old Town Knightdale compete with all the new construction nearby?
It can, but usually only if it’s priced to account for the work it needs. Buyers shopping in Knightdale have plenty of new-build options nearby, so an older home with an outdated kitchen, roof or systems often needs a price cut to compete on the open market. Selling as-is to a cash buyer avoids that comparison entirely since there’s no listing or appraisal against new construction.
Why did my Knightdale property tax bill go up even though I haven’t done anything to the house?
Wake County reassessed every property’s value as of January 1, 2024, and that revaluation raised assessed values, and tax bills, for most owners across the county, including Knightdale, regardless of any changes to the home itself. The new value stands until the next countywide revaluation unless it was successfully appealed at the time.
How does Knightdale’s market compare to nearby Raleigh?
As of August 2026, Knightdale’s median sale price was about $401,000, close to but slightly below Raleigh’s citywide median of around $422,000. Knightdale homes were also taking a bit longer to sell, at about 45 days, and a large share of listings, over 43%, had a price drop before selling.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Knightdale?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
