Paducah 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.

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.

Selling a Paducah house when something has made it harder
Foreclosure
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
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.

Kentucky selling costs: the real estate transfer tax
Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500, which works out to about 0.1%. The seller owes it by law, and the McCracken County Clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Taxable value is the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers, including foreclosure deeds, deeds between spouses, and certain transfers to government, are exempt. Recording fees are separate. Read Kentucky Revised Statute 142.050 →
For example, on a $100,000 taxable transfer, 200 $500 units at 50 cents each equal $100 in transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

Questions Paducah sellers ask
Can I sell my Paducah house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is Kentucky's real estate transfer tax on a Paducah sale?
Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500, about 0.1%. The seller owes it by law, and the McCracken County Clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Taxable value is the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers, including foreclosure deeds, deeds between spouses, and certain transfers to government, are exempt. Recording fees are separate. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax.
Can you review a tenant-occupied Paducah house?
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. In Kentucky, selling the house doesn't end the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord.
What happens if I sell a fire-damaged house to you?
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. 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.
