St. Louis market facts to use when comparing your options
For current home-price and market-activity measures, use the St. Louis market report. Its shared display labels each measure with its geography, source, and reporting period, keeping St. Louis city figures distinct from St. Louis County. Citywide numbers give context; they are not a value or a timeline for one address.
The 2024 American Community Survey one-year estimates counted 98,061 of St. Louis city’s 174,694 housing units as built in 1939 or earlier. The same estimates counted 80,327 renter-occupied units among 148,637 occupied units. Those figures help explain why condition and occupancy can matter when comparing a listing with a direct sale; they do not predict what a particular house will sell for.
Compare a listing, Cash Offer, and EZ Sale
A listing puts the house in front of market buyers. Depending on the house and your listing agreement, you may need to plan for preparation, repairs, visits, agent compensation, and the time you carry the property. Compare what you may keep after those costs, not an asking price against a cash-offer amount.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
| Option | Buyer and timing | Price and costs |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Offer | USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. | Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. Built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. |
| EZ Sale | Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. | Higher price than the Cash Offer. Often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. |
| Listing | You choose the listing agent and buyer; timing depends on the house, agreement, and sale. | Compare the likely proceeds after preparation, repairs, agent compensation under your agreement, other sale costs, and the time you expect to carry the house. |
A St. Louis City detail that can affect repair plans
Dutchtown is one example of the city’s locally made-brick housing. If your house is in a historic district and you are planning rehabilitation, the City’s Cultural Resources Office works with property owners and offers help planning projects. You can compare that work with an as-is sale before deciding what to do next.
St. Louis City is separate from St. Louis County. Check city-specific information for a St. Louis City property rather than treating county information as if it covered the independent city.
Missouri recording charges and other sale costs
Missouri’s constitution bars state, county, and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Recording a deed is separate: state law sets a $5 charge for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title or closing professional can confirm the exact recording charges for your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
For a listing comparison, include the expenses that apply to your property and agreement. The St. Louis home-sale net proceeds calculator can help you compare estimates; inherited homes, tenant arrangements, code issues, or foreclosure deadlines may also need their own review.
