Selling a house in Ward
Ward is the second largest city in Lonoke County and one of the fastest growing small cities in Central Arkansas. Its population grew from about 6,050 at the 2020 census to roughly 7,000 by 2024, and builders have platted new subdivisions across town nearly every year since, including Deerfield, Oakland Grove Estates, Legacy Farms, and Moonlight Meadows. Most of the housing here is young. Around seven in ten homes were built after 2000, and the typical Ward house dates to about 2006. Ward has no major employer of its own. It grew, and keeps growing, as a bedroom community for Little Rock Air Force Base, Cabot, and the wider Little Rock metro, and Ward's students attend Cabot Public Schools.
That growth brings a mix of sellers. Some own a newer house in a subdivision like Stagecoach Meadows or Copper Moon Estates and need to sell fast for a job change or a move. Others hold an older house near the center of town, from before US 67 was widened in the late 1960s and moved about a mile north, taking much of the town's business with it. Hail is a real factor here too. Storm records show hail hit Ward directly in June 2023, with hailstones up to two inches across. Ward has also grown by annexing land around it for years, so a Ward mailing address does not always mean the property is inside the city limits, which is worth checking before you sell.

Where the paperwork happens in Lonoke County
Ward is in Lonoke County, and the county seat is the town of Lonoke, about 16 miles southeast. Deeds are recorded at the circuit clerk's office in the Lonoke County Courthouse. Property taxes run through the county collector, and Lonoke County keeps a closer tax office in Cabot, on South Pine Street, so you do not have to drive all the way to Lonoke. If the house came through an estate, probate runs through the circuit court in the county where the person lived.

When we are not your best option in Ward
If the house shows well and you can wait a few months, selling it on the open market usually brings a higher price, even after the fees that come with it. We will tell you if that is what we would do in your position.
If the goal is to keep the house and the trouble is missed payments, a HUD approved housing counselor is free and can walk you through the options with your lender first.
And if our number does not do what you need it to do, we will say so plainly instead of talking you into it.
Call (501) 251-9330 and ask. You will talk to one of us.

Questions Ward sellers ask us
My house has a Ward mailing address. Is it actually inside the city limits?
Not always. Ward has grown by annexing land around it for years, so a Ward mailing address does not guarantee the property sits inside the city limits or pays city taxes. Check with Ward City Hall before you list a number, and we can help you sort it out before we make an offer.
Do you buy houses in the newer Ward subdivisions like Deerfield or Legacy Farms?
Yes. Ward has been one of the fastest growing small cities in Central Arkansas, and builders have platted new subdivisions across town nearly every year, including Deerfield, Oakland Grove Estates, Legacy Farms, and Moonlight Meadows. We buy a new construction house the same way we buy an older one, as it sits.
My roof was damaged in the 2023 hail storm and I never got it fixed. Will you still buy the house?
Yes. Hail hit Ward directly in June 2023, with hailstones up to two inches across, and a lot of roofs in town still carry that damage or an open insurance claim. You do not need to finish a claim or a repair before we make an offer.
Where does probate happen if I inherited a house in Ward?
Probate runs through the circuit court for the county where the person who died lived. For most Ward houses that is Lonoke County, and the county seat is the town of Lonoke, about 16 miles southeast. The Lonoke County Clerk's office handles probate filings, and it is worth a call to confirm before you file anything.
Do you really buy houses in any condition?
Yes. We buy houses with bad roofs, foundation problems, fire or water damage, and houses full of belongings. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear anything out.
How fast will I get my offer?
We call you with a guaranteed cash offer within 24 hours of getting your property details.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions and no service fees, and we cover the typical closing costs, meaning the title work. The offer we make is the cash you receive at closing.
Is the offer really guaranteed?
Yes. You get a written cash offer with no financing contingency. If you accept it, that is the amount you are paid at closing.
