Brownsville market numbers
Keep the source, place, and period with each figure
No current maintained, source-labeled Brownsville measures are available here, so this report does not substitute a nearby, countywide, metro, statewide, or older figure.
What the numbers mean
A market-wide figure is not your house’s price
Compare the same house across your choices. Its condition, repairs or cleanout, whether it is vacant or tenant-occupied, access, and the date you want to sell can change the numbers. A town-wide measure cannot fill in those property-specific details.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. If you compare listing or waiting, include the work and carrying costs you would take on, along with the written sale numbers.
Local selling costs
Texas has no transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The Texas Constitution bars a law imposing that tax on such a sale.
The deed still needs to be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are based on pages, not the sale price, and can be higher if the deed leaves out the buyer’s mailing address. For a Brownsville property in Cameron County, ask the Cameron County Clerk or title company about current recording requirements and fees.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

- Texas Legislative Council background on the transfer-tax restriction →
Brownsville city is in Cameron County. A Brownsville mailing address alone does not confirm that a property is inside the incorporated city limits, so check the property’s actual location for city-specific questions.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer. Then compare the costs for your house: repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The amount left after costs is not the same as the top-line sale price.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

What do the current Brownsville market measures show?
No current maintained, source-labeled Brownsville market rows are available in this report. We do not replace them with a nearby, countywide, metro, statewide, or older figure.
Does a Brownsville market figure tell me what my house is worth?
No. A town-wide measure cannot account for your house’s condition, needed repairs or cleanout, tenant occupancy and access, or the timing you are working with. Compare those details for the actual property.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell a Brownsville house?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of real property. The Texas Constitution bars a law imposing that tax on such a sale. A deed still has to be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What changes how much I may keep from a sale?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for repairs and cleanout, your mortgage payoff, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. If you list, include listing costs and the time the home may remain on the market. The Brownsville calculator lets you change its planning assumptions.
