What the numbers mean
A citywide figure cannot price your particular house
The measures above describe the market and periods named by their sources. They are a starting point, not a value for your Kansas City address.
Condition and deferred repairs can change what a buyer has to take on. Cleanup is another cost to compare. If tenants live in the house, occupancy and access can affect your choices; your timing matters too, especially when you compare a listing and its preparation with a direct as-is sale.
Compare the options using facts about your own house. A neighborhood or city measure cannot account for its repair list, tenants, payoff, or the time and expenses you may carry while waiting.
Local selling costs
Missouri transfer taxes and deed recording fees
Missouri's constitution bars state, county, and local governments from imposing a new tax on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. A deed still has to be recorded: state law sets a $5 fee for its first page and $3 for each additional page, with other statutory per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges for your sale.
- Missouri Constitution, Article X, Section 25 →
- Missouri deed recording fee per page, RSMo §59.310 →
- Missouri recorder user fee, RSMo §59.319 →
- Additional recording fee, RSMo §59.800 →
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What you may keep
Sale price and net proceeds are different numbers
Net proceeds are what remains after costs; they are not the sale price. Put a realistic sale price or written offer beside repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, and other selling costs to compare what you may keep from each path.
Use the calculator to change the assumptions for your house and compare the money left after costs.

Kansas City market report questions
Does a Kansas City market figure tell me what my house is worth?
No. A citywide measure is market context, not a price for your particular address. Condition, repairs, occupancy, costs, and timing can all change the comparison.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before asking for an offer?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What recording charges apply when a Missouri house sells?
Missouri law bars state and local governments from imposing a new tax on real-estate sales or transfers after December 2, 2010, but deed recording fees still apply. State law sets a per-page deed fee and adds statutory per-document fees; the title company or closing professional confirms the exact charges for your closing.
When you buy my house, what closing costs do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
How can I compare the sale price with what I would keep?
Sale price is not the same as net proceeds. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with costs such as payoff, repairs, cleanout, and other selling expenses using the Kansas City home-sale net proceeds calculator linked on this page.
