What the numbers mean
A market figure cannot price your particular house
The house itself changes the comparison. Repairs and cleanout can affect what you spend before a listing; tenants, lease or access details can affect showings and timing. A town-wide figure does not price your particular house.
Include the timing you need and the costs that keep running while you wait. Compare those with a direct as-is option using the details for your address, not a citywide average.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Kentucky real estate transfer tax
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. On a $100,000 sale, that is $100. State law assigns the tax to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Recording fees are separate. Some transfers are exempt, so have the title company confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different
The sale price is the top-line amount. What you keep depends on costs and payoffs: compare likely repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The closing costs we pay include Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax. A mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

How should I use Paducah market numbers when I’m selling?
Use them as one part of comparing your choices. Your home’s condition, repair needs, occupancy, and timing can change what you keep. We can talk through those details with you.
How is Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax calculated?
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law assigns the tax to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Recording fees are separate, and some transfers are exempt, so have the title company confirm whether an exemption applies. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax.
What changes how much I may keep from a sale?
The sale price is not the amount left after costs. Compare it with repairs or cleanout, your mortgage payoff, other selling costs, and the bills you will carry while you wait. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax; mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Can repairs, tenants, or timing change my choices?
Yes. Repair needs, whether tenants live there and what access the house allows, and the date you want to sell can all change the comparison. A town-wide figure cannot account for those details at your address.
