What the numbers mean
A citywide figure does not price your particular house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales for the place and period shown. It is not a price for your address. Size, condition, repair needs, access, tenant occupancy, and sale timing can all change the choices to compare.
Zillow's typical home value is a separate modeled measure, not a completed-sale price for your house: $238,475 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for El Paso, TX). Use it as broad market context, not an estimate for your address.
Repairs, cleanout, tenant access, and the bills you would carry while waiting can change what each option costs and what you may keep. A town-wide number cannot fill in those property-specific details.
Local selling costs
Texas has no real-estate transfer tax
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. The Texas Constitution bars a law imposing that tax. The deed still needs to be signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not as a percentage of the sale price; the fee can be higher if the deed leaves out the buyer's mailing address.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic listing price or written cash offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, selling costs, and the bills you would carry while waiting. The amount left after costs is not the same as the top-line sale price.
The calculator lets you change planning assumptions to compare a listing with a direct sale and see what you may keep after costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Do El Paso market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. The shared display identifies the measure, source, place, and period; a citywide figure does not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, tenant occupancy, access, and timing can change the comparison.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. A deed still needs to be notarized and recorded with the county clerk, and recording fees are based on the document rather than the sale price.
When I sell to USA Home Buyers, who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell a house that needs repairs or has tenants?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Condition, occupancy, access, and timing can still affect the choices you compare for a particular house.
