What the numbers mean
A town-wide measure does not price your particular house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales in its stated place and period. It is a comparison point, not a price for your address. Condition, repairs, cleanout, occupancy, and the timing you need can all change which option makes sense for your house.
A tenant may affect access and timing. A house that needs work may compare differently as-is than after repairs and cleanup. Put those details beside a realistic listing estimate or written cash offer rather than treating a citywide number as your result.
We buy houses in St. Paul and Ramsey County as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Include Minnesota deed tax in the St. Paul closing comparison
For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration above $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Ramsey County adds a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax, making the combined rate 0.34% for a taxable transfer there. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax; the closing professional confirms the property's county and taxable amount.
Read the Minnesota Department of Revenue deed-tax rate information and the Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund statute.
When you sell to us
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise and can still affect what you keep.
A St. Paul address is in Ramsey County
Saint Paul is Ramsey County's county seat and Minnesota's state capital. Ramsey County's page has more about the county and its role.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then subtract the costs that apply to your sale: mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout if you list, listing commission, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, taxes, and the time you carry the property. The net is what remains after those costs, not the headline sale price.
The St. Paul home-sale calculator lets you change the price, payoff, repair, and cost assumptions to compare what you might keep from a listing with an as-is sale.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

No. It summarizes completed sales for the named place and period. Your home’s condition, repairs, occupancy, costs, and timing affect its own comparison.

For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration above $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% and Ramsey County adds a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax, for a combined 0.34%. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax; the closing professional confirms the taxable amount.
Do you pay closing costs if I sell to you?
