What the numbers mean
What the numbers mean for your house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales for the stated place and period. Zillow's typical home value is an estimate—a different kind of number. Your home’s condition, repairs, occupancy, and sale terms shape the comparison for you.
Repairs and cleanup affect what you may spend. Tenants can affect access and showings. If you wait, count the bills you carry along the way. Compare that with selling as-is or listing.
Local selling costs
Mississippi recording fees, not a state transfer tax
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. A deed is subject to recording fees under Miss. Code Ann. § 25-7-9; the Lauderdale County Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge.
For homes in Lauderdale County, the Chancery Clerk records deeds.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you change your assumptions to compare listing with an as-is sale.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Meridian market report questions
What can I learn from Meridian market figures?
Compare the figures with your home’s condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing. Those details shape whether an as-is sale, listing, or waiting fits you.
Does a Meridian market figure tell me what my house is worth?
Your home’s condition, needed repairs, occupancy, access, and how long you can wait shape the comparison between an as-is sale, listing, or holding the property.
Does Mississippi charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds are subject to recording fees under Miss. Code Ann. § 25-7-9, and the Lauderdale County Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. The money left after a sale depends on the sale price or written offer minus costs and amounts due, which can include repairs, cleanout, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The calculator lets you compare an as-is sale with listing using your own assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
Can I sell a Meridian house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
