Keyser, WV illustrative estimate
Keyser home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.
Starting-value basis: Zillow typical home value for Keyser, WV (As of September 2026): $180,888. Editable estimate, not an appraisal. Source: Zillow Home Value Index
The combined base tax is $1.65 for each $500, or part of $500, of the estimated sale price. A higher county rate and the separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee are not included. Exemptions may apply.
See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This estimate uses the tax rate and calculation shown above. Your percentage replaces it. Local taxes, exemptions and the property’s taxable value can change the final amount.

Choose the question closest to yours
Selling a Keyser house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

West Virginia transfer taxes and recording costs
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county excise tax of $0.55 per $500 applies; a county commission may raise that additional tax to $1.65 per $500. At the base rates, the combined tax is $1.65 per $500. The County Clerk also collects a separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. The statute assigns the tax to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid; some transfers are excluded. Each $500 or fraction counts, and value includes liens the buyer takes over. Read West Virginia Code §11-22-2 → See the definition of value and excluded transfers in §11-22-1 →
For a $100,000 taxable transfer, the base excise tax is $330. In a county charging the maximum additional county tax, the excise tax is $550. Add the separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee in either example.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from these transfer taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.

Questions about selling a house in Keyser
Can I sell a Keyser house without fixing or cleaning it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What transfer taxes and recording fee apply to a West Virginia sale?
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. West Virginia charges a first county excise tax of $1.10 per $500 of value. The additional county excise tax is $0.55 per $500, and a county commission may raise it to $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and value includes liens the buyer takes over. The clerk also collects a separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. By law, the seller pays the transfer tax unless the buyer accepts the deed without it paid. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
Is Keyser in Mineral County?
Yes. Keyser is in Mineral County and is the county seat.
What happens if county real-estate taxes are delinquent?
Mineral County's yearly Sheriff's Tax Sale is held in November for unpaid delinquent real-estate taxes. You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
What happens to insurance proceeds if I sell a fire-damaged house to you?
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
Who can sign for an inherited Keyser house?
In West Virginia, an executor must qualify before acting for the estate. If the will gives the executor power to sell a house that was not specifically left to someone else, the executor may sell it unless the will says otherwise; if the will directs a sale, the executor or administrator can carry it out. If there is no will, the county commission or its clerk handles appointment of an administrator. Mineral County Clerk handles estate and probate matters. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
