Westmoreland County covers 1,036 square miles east of Pittsburgh, and its land market splits sharply by geography: builders and lot buyers compete in the western commuter townships like Murrysville, Penn, North Huntingdon, and Hempfield, while hunters, farmers, and recreational buyers dominate the acreage toward the Laurel Highlands. Rural wooded and former-farm ground commonly trades in the $4,000-$12,000-per-acre range, while finished building lots in Murrysville or the Norwin school district can bring $75,000 or more. The county has lost population every decade since its 1980 peak near 392,000 (about 350,000 today), so demand is thin in the Mon Valley and Alle-Kiski mill towns, where lots in Monessen, Jeannette, or New Kensington often sell for four figures. Vacant land moves slowly here, with six months to a year on market common, and parcels with severed gas rights from Marcellus leasing or undocumented coal-mine undermining draw fewer, more cautious buyers. For inherited acreage or scattered lots, cash buyers such as builders, adjoining owners, and land investors are frequently the realistic exit.
Land in Westmoreland County is a three-way mix: suburban infill and subdivision ground in the western third closest to Pittsburgh, working farmland and pasture through the center in Hempfield, Unity, Derry, and Mount Pleasant townships, and steep wooded ridge land on Chestnut Ridge and Laurel Ridge to the east. Much of the western county sits over mined-out Pittsburgh-seam coal in the historic Irwin coal basin, and Marcellus shale leasing has severed mineral rights on many rural parcels. Floodplain follows Sewickley Creek, Loyalhanna Creek, Turtle Creek, and the Kiskiminetas and Youghiogheny rivers, and legacy industrial land lines the Monongahela around Monessen.
When you need to sell your land fast in Westmoreland County, the traditional process — hiring an agent, ordering a survey, waiting months for the right buyer — simply doesn't work. EasyOffer buys land directly for cash. No listing, no showings, no waiting. We handle title work and closing costs so you walk away with cash in hand.
We also buy land from owners in nearby Fayette County, Allegheny County, Armstrong County, and throughout Pennsylvania.
About Westmoreland County
Westmoreland County was created on February 26, 1773 from Bedford County, the last county formed under Pennsylvania's colonial government, and named for Westmorland in England. Its first seat, Hannastown, was burned in a 1782 British-allied Seneca raid, moving the courthouse to Greensburg. The county rode the coal, coke, glass, and steel boom, and in 1978 Volkswagen opened the first U.S. assembly plant run by a foreign automaker at New Stanton.

Getting Around Westmoreland County
I-70 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) cross at New Stanton, with US 30, US 22, and the Route 66 toll bypass carrying commuter traffic to Pittsburgh, roughly 35-60 minutes from the western townships. Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe provides regional air service, Amtrak's Pennsylvanian stops in Greensburg and Latrobe, and Norfolk Southern's main line runs through the county.
Land & Flood Risk
Steep hillsides in the region's claystone red beds are landslide-prone, and much of western Westmoreland is undermined by legacy Pittsburgh-seam coal mines, so state mine subsidence insurance is widely recommended. Flash flooding recurs along Turtle Creek — devastated by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 — as well as Sewickley Creek, Loyalhanna Creek, and the Youghiogheny at West Newton.

Can I sell land with back taxes in Pennsylvania?
Yes. We regularly purchase properties with delinquent taxes in Pennsylvania. In most cases, we work with the title company to resolve outstanding taxes at closing so you don't have to pay them out of pocket beforehand.

Can I sell inherited land without going through probate?
In many cases, yes. We buy inherited land throughout Pennsylvania, even when the property is still in the deceased owner's name. We work with probate attorneys and title companies to handle the transfer so you don't have to navigate the legal process alone.
Do I need a survey to sell my land?
No. While a survey can be helpful, it's not required to sell your land to us. We work with existing legal descriptions and plat maps. If a survey is needed for closing, we cover the cost.
What types of land do you buy in PA?
We buy virtually every type — raw acreage, vacant residential lots, farmland, commercial parcels, wooded tracts, landlocked parcels, and undeveloped land. Whether it's a quarter-acre lot or a 100-acre parcel, we can make an offer.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
