What Sets Fayetteville’s Historic Homes Apart in 2026
Fayetteville’s historic homes are more than old structures — they’re a window into the city’s past and a unique opportunity for buyers. These properties often feature:
- Original hardwood floors, molding, and fireplaces
- Architectural details not found in newer builds, such as wraparound porches and ornate staircases
- Larger lots, mature landscaping, and central locations
Notably, houses like the Sedberry-Holmes House (1886) and Westlawn (1858) showcase classic Queen Anne and Greek Revival styles. While some homes are in pristine condition, others may need restoration — offering potential for value growth and customization.
- Renovation-ready homes can be more affordable, but factor in repair costs and local preservation rules (HUD)
- Well-maintained, move-in ready historic homes are highly competitive and often sell near list price (97% sale-to-list ratio)
The Brewer Group can guide buyers to properties that fit their risk tolerance — whether you want historic charm without the headaches, or you’re ready for a full renovation project.
