What the numbers mean
A market figure is only a starting point for your house
Redfin’s sale and activity measures describe recent market activity. Zillow’s typical home value is a model estimate, and its inventory measure counts homes for sale. The source, geography, and period shown beside each measure matter; these different figures are not interchangeable.
The condition of your house, repair needs, tenant occupancy and access, and the timing you want can all change which selling path makes sense. A city-wide number does not price your particular property. An updated, easy-to-show house may call for a different comparison from one that needs work or has a tenant or timing constraint.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share what is known about the property so you can compare a written offer with the listing path.
Local selling costs
West Virginia transfer taxes and recording fee
Wheeling includes property in both Ohio and Marshall Counties. Check the parcel’s county because the additional county excise-tax rate can vary.
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax when title is transferred. The first county tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 per $500, and a county commission may raise that additional tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and the taxable value includes liens the buyer takes over. At the base rates, the combined tax is $330 on a $100,000 sale; at the maximum additional county rate, it is $550. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording.
State law assigns payment to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. Some transfers, including certain no-consideration transfers between close family members, are excluded. Confirm the county rate and final settlement figures for the specific property.
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 net proceeds are different numbers
The sale price is the gross amount in the contract. What you keep depends on costs such as repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, liens, commissions if you list, closing costs, current property-tax allocation, and bills while you wait. A higher sale price does not automatically mean more money left after costs.
Use the calculator to compare estimated listing proceeds with an as-is sale and change the assumptions for your house. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

Wheeling market report questions
What do the Wheeling market numbers tell me?
The market display reports measures from Redfin and Zillow with the source, place, and period shown beside each figure. Redfin sale and activity measures differ from Zillow’s modeled home value and inventory measures.
Does a Wheeling median sale price tell me what my house will sell for?
No. A town-wide median is a comparison point, not a price for your address. Condition, needed repairs, size, tenant occupancy or access, and timing can change the comparison for your house.
What West Virginia transfer taxes may apply to a Wheeling sale?
West Virginia’s first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value, plus an additional county excise tax that starts at $0.55 per $500 and may be raised by the county commission to $1.65 per $500. At the base rates the combined tax is $330 per $100,000 of value; at the maximum additional rate it is $550 per $100,000. Each $500 or fraction counts, and the value includes liens the buyer takes over. The clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. The actual county rate and settlement amount need to be confirmed for the property.
If I sell to USA Home Buyers, who pays the closing costs?
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 remain separate.
How do I compare the sale price with what I may keep?
The sale price is the gross contract amount. Net proceeds are what remains after costs such as repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, commissions if you list, other closing costs, and bills while you wait. Use the Wheeling calculator linked on this page to compare your own assumptions; its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
How do I ask for a written cash offer?

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.”
