What the Morgantown numbers mean
The median sale price describes the middle of completed sales in Morgantown for the period shown. Days on market and homes sold describe recent activity. Zillow’s typical home value is a separate model, while its inventory figure counts homes for sale. None of these measures tells you what one particular house will sell for.
For your own comparison, account for condition and likely repairs, whether the home is occupied or rented and what access is available, and when you want to sell. A listing, a repair-and-list plan, and an as-is sale can have different costs and holding time even in the same market.
West Virginia selling costs
Transfer taxes belong in the closing comparison
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax when title transfers. The base tax is $1.10 for each $500 or fraction of value, and the additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 per $500. A county commission may raise that additional rate to $1.65 per $500. Together, the base rates are $1.65 per $500; at the maximum additional county rate, the combined amount is $2.75 per $500. That is $330 per $100,000 at base rates or $550 at the maximum. Taxable value includes liens the buyer takes over.
The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law assigns the tax to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed with the tax unpaid. Confirm the current Monongalia County rate and the final amounts for the property with the closing professional.
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. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
The sale price is not the amount you keep
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to your sale. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, closing costs, property-tax share, liens or back taxes, and the bills you keep paying while you wait.
The calculator lets you compare listing and an as-is cash sale using assumptions for your house. Change the inputs to fit the costs and timing you are considering; a market-wide number cannot fill in those details.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Morgantown market report questions
Does the Morgantown median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. The median sale price is the middle of completed sales for the place and period shown. It is market context, not a price for your address. Condition, repairs, size, access, occupancy, and timing can change the comparison.
Why are there different Redfin and Zillow numbers?
They measure different things. Redfin reports completed-sale and activity measures; Zillow’s typical home value is a model, and its inventory measure counts homes for sale. Read each figure with its source, geography, and period.
What West Virginia transfer taxes may apply when I sell?
The base real estate transfer excise tax is $1.10 per $500 or fraction of value, and the additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 per $500. A county commission may raise that additional rate to $1.65 per $500. Confirm the current Monongalia County rate and final settlement amounts for your property.
How do I compare sale price with what I may keep?
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, closing costs, current property-tax share, liens or back taxes, and the bills you carry while waiting. The Morgantown calculator lets you compare your own assumptions.
Can I sell a Morgantown house without making repairs first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what work the house needs so you can compare an as-is sale with your other options.
What should I include when comparing a tenant-occupied house?
Include who lives there, the lease and access arrangements, repairs, carrying costs, and the timing you need. Those details help you compare a direct sale with listing or continuing to hold the property.
Choose a next step for your situation
If the property is inherited, occupied by tenants, needs substantial repairs, or has a deadline, use the matching local page to compare the questions that may affect your sale.
