What the numbers mean

A town-wide figure does not price your particular house

A market measure summarizes the homes and time period named beside it. Your house may need different repairs or cleanup, have a tenant or access limits, or need to sell on a different schedule. Those details affect the comparison; no town-wide number prices your address.

Compare the condition, repair needs, occupancy, and time you can wait with the written terms for each option. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Local selling costs

West Virginia real estate transfer excise taxes

West Virginia charges an excise tax when title to real estate transfers. The first county excise tax is $1.10 for each $500 of value, or part of $500. An additional county excise tax starts at 55 cents per $500; the county commission may raise that additional rate to as much as $1.65 per $500. At the base rates, the two taxes total $1.65 per $500. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording.

State law generally puts the tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. The actual additional rate for a Nicholas County sale should be confirmed for that transaction. 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. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Summersville and Nicholas County are separate governments

Summersville is the Nicholas County seat, but the city and county are separately administered. A city or mailing address alone does not confirm whether a parcel is inside city limits. The city directs map and boundary questions to City Hall, and the county assessor describes its tax maps as approximate; check the parcel with the appropriate office before relying on a jurisdiction-specific record.

What you may keep

Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers

Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanup, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The Summersville home-sale calculator lets you change planning assumptions and compare what may be left after those costs.

Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Summersville market report questions

Do Summersville market numbers tell me what my house is worth?

No. A market measure describes the place and period shown, and a typical home-value model is not a completed sale or an offer for your address. Condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing can change the comparison for your house.

How can condition, tenants, or timing change what I keep?

Repairs and cleanup may add costs before a listing. A tenant or limited access can affect how a house is shown, and the time you carry it can add bills. Compare those costs with the written terms for an as-is sale and a realistic listing plan.

What West Virginia transfer taxes apply when I sell to you?

West Virginia charges real estate transfer excise tax, plus an additional county excise tax that can vary by county. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. Confirm the Nicholas County rate and the figures for your sale. 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. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Is the sale price the amount I keep?

No. The sale price is before costs and amounts due. Compare it with your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanup, selling costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions to see how those items affect the estimated amount left.
