What the numbers mean
A citywide measure cannot price your particular house
The Redfin sale measure and Zillow’s typical-home-value measure describe different things. Neither accounts for the specific condition, needed repairs, tenant or access arrangements, or the date you need to sell.
Compare those figures with the facts of your house. Repairs and cleanout can change a listing comparison; an occupied property can affect access and timing; and payoff, title questions, and the time you keep paying to own the house affect what may be left. A broad city figure is context, not a price for your address.
Local selling costs
West Virginia transfer tax and recording fee
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax when title transfers. The first county excise tax is $1.10 for each $500 or fraction of value, and an additional county excise tax starts at 55¢ per $500. A county commission may raise that additional county tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. At the base rates, the combined tax is $1.65 per $500 ($330 on $100,000); at the maximum county rate, it is $2.75 per $500 ($550 on $100,000). The value includes liens the buyer takes over.
The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. West Virginia law assigns the transfer tax to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. Weirton spans Brooke and Hancock counties, so confirm the property’s county and the county rate before using a figure in your comparison; these statutory rates are not a property-specific settlement quote.
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 balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from that closing-cost promise.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
To estimate what you may keep, compare a realistic sale price or written offer with the costs that apply: repairs, listing costs if you list, mortgage payoff, other selling costs, and the bills and time involved in holding the property. The sale price alone does not show the amount left after those costs.
Use the existing Weirton home-sale net-proceeds calculator to try your own assumptions. Its result is an estimate, not an offer for your house.

Does the Weirton market data tell me what my house is worth?
No. The citywide sale and home-value measures are useful comparison points, but they do not account for your particular house’s condition, repairs, access, occupancy, costs, or timing.
What West Virginia transfer costs should I include?
West Virginia transfer tax includes a first county excise tax and an additional county excise tax, plus a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee at recording. The local tax section explains the statutory rates and links to the West Virginia Code; confirm the applicable county rate for the property.
Which closing costs do you pay?
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 balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
How do I compare a sale price with what I would keep?
Start with the expected sale price, then account for the costs that apply to your situation, such as repairs, listing costs, payoff, other selling costs, and the time you carry the house. The linked calculator lets you compare your own assumptions; its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
Can I compare an as-is sale if the house needs work or has a tenant?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Repairs, tenant access, and timing can affect the comparison, so include those details when you review the options.
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.”
