How do I sell my house fast in Cayce, SC, or West Columbia?
To sell your Cayce house fast, tell Propcash about it, get one written cash offer priced on recent Lexington County sales, and choose a closing date. Nothing has to be repaired, cleaned, or listed first. With the typical Cayce sale taking 47 days in the three months ending October 2026 (Redfin, October 2026), owners often want the calendar back.
Tell us about your Cayce or West Columbia house
Give the address and what you know: a 1960s house with its original wiring, a mill village cottage, a rental with a tenant, or an estate still furnished. It takes about two minutes, with no obligation.
Get your fair cash offer
Recent sales of similar houses on the Lexington County side of the river set the figure, not a Columbia average. You see the sales and the repair estimate behind the number, so you can weigh it against listing.
Review your offer & close
If the offer works for you, a South Carolina closing attorney can settle the sale in as few as 7 days after the contract is signed, or on a later date you pick. Unpaid county taxes are usually paid from the proceeds at closing.
Agent, sell it yourself, or a direct cash buyer?
| Way to sell and what it takes | What to expect | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Listing with an agent: time to close | Time on the market, then the buyer's loan, appraisal, and closing | Redfin, Cayce days on market |
| Listing with an agent: costs to you | The commission in your listing agreement, plus the deed recording fee, which is the seller's liability | S.C. Code 12-24-20 |

| Selling it yourself: costs to you | No listing commission, but the deed recording fee and any buyer's agent fee you agree to | S.C. Code 12-24-20 |
| Selling it yourself: repairs and showings | You schedule showings, negotiate repairs, and complete the disclosure statement | S.C. Code 27-50-40 |

Why do Cayce and West Columbia owners sell their houses for cash?
Estates filed in Lexington, 1960s and 1970s houses a lender's inspector writes up, West Columbia rentals that now need registering, and a missed mortgage payment are the usual reasons owners here ask for a cash offer.
Inherited house
An estate opens in the county where the owner lived (S.C. Code 62-3-201), so most Cayce and West Columbia estates go to the Lexington County Probate Court in the Judicial Center in downtown Lexington. Unless the will allows a sale, South Carolina bars the personal representative from selling estate real estate outside a court procedure (S.C. Code 62-3-711). See how we help with inherited houses.
Moving on a fixed date
A new job or a move closer to family rarely waits for a listing, a buyer's loan, and an appraisal. A cash offer lets the closing date follow your move instead of the market.
Divorce
South Carolina family courts make a final equitable apportionment of marital property (S.C. Code 20-3-620), and marital property counts regardless of how title is held (S.C. Code 20-3-630). One written number with the comparable sales attached gives both spouses the same starting point. See how we work with divorcing sellers.
Not list-ready in a 47-day market
The median Cayce house was built in 1969 (Census Bureau ACS), so roofs, panels, and ductwork are often original or close to it. An offer on a house that needs major repairs prices that work in up front instead of after a buyer's inspection.
Behind on payments
In South Carolina a mortgage sale passes title only after a court judgment establishes the debt, or the owner consents in writing to the amount after it is due (S.C. Code 29-3-630). A sale that closes first can pay off the loan. Propcash is only ever a buyer for owners facing foreclosure, never a lender.
Tired of being a landlord
Renters occupy 44.7% of West Columbia's occupied housing and 39.5% of Cayce's (Census Bureau ACS). A house can sell with the tenant in place, and the seller stays liable for the deposit unless it moves to the buyer with written notice to the tenant (S.C. Code 27-40-450). See how we work with tired landlords.

Sell your house fast in Cayce, West Columbia, and Springdale
You can get a cash offer on a house anywhere in Cayce or West Columbia, in any condition: a West Columbia mill village cottage near the river, a 1960s Cayce house, or a 1970s house in Springdale. The Census Bureau lists West Columbia in Lexington County and Cayce in both Lexington and Richland counties (Census Bureau), so the county on your tax bill decides which assessor values the house.
Own a house in Pine Ridge, South Congaree, or Lexington? Ask about it too. Across the river you can get a cash offer in Columbia, and elsewhere in the state you can sell a house fast in Charleston or sell a house fast in Greenville, or start at our South Carolina cash offer page.
Cayce and West Columbia, from the Riverwalk to Springdale
Two things shape a fair offer on this side of the Congaree: the decade the house was built, and which county and city rules apply to it.
Cayce (29033, 29172)
Cayce is a city of 13,741 residents (Census Bureau ACS). Its housing peaked in the 1960s, when 26.8% of today's units were built, and the median year built is 1969 (Census Bureau ACS). About 60.5% of occupied units are owner-occupied (Census Bureau ACS). Inspectors on houses of that age tend to write up original electrical panels, aging ductwork, and settled crawl spaces, and an offer can price those as they are.
West Columbia (29169, 29170)
West Columbia was chartered in 1894 as Brookland and took its present name in 1936; its first cluster of houses, known as the village, grew on the west bank of the Congaree mainly to house workers for the mill across the river. A 1905 fire destroyed more than seventy homes and buildings, and the Gervais Street Bridge replaced the old wooden crossing in 1927 (City of West Columbia). Today 26.7% of the city's units date from before 1960 (Census Bureau ACS).
West Columbia's newer streets and the river
The median West Columbia house was built in 1976 (Census Bureau ACS). West Columbia's median sale price was $247,172, down 1.3%, and the typical sale took 37 days in the three months ending October 2026 (Redfin, October 2026).
Springdale (29170)
Springdale is a Lexington County town of 2,742 residents (Census Bureau ACS). It is the most owner-occupied of the three places, at 69.7% (Census Bureau ACS), and 40.3% of its housing was built in the 1970s (Census Bureau ACS). Owners here often sell a house a parent bought new, with the original kitchen, windows, and heat pump still in it.
Cayce in Richland County (29209)
Part of Cayce lies in Richland County (Census Bureau), so a house on that side is valued by Richland County's assessor, and a foreclosure there runs through Richland County's court instead of Lexington County's. Before you sell, check the county printed on your tax bill. You can get a cash offer on your Cayce or West Columbia house on either side of the line.
Sell your Cayce or West Columbia house for cash, in any condition
Your house can sell exactly as it stands: nothing repaired, painted, or hauled away first. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Houses here are older on the whole than Lexington County's, where the median year built is 1993 (Census Bureau ACS). A financed buyer's inspector usually flags roofs, original wiring, old ductwork, and moisture under the floor, and each item becomes a repair request.
- Original 1960s and 1970s systems
A fuse box, ungrounded outlets, or a heat pump past its life is priced in, not fixed first.
- Crawl space moisture and settling
Damp framing, sagging floors, or a vapor barrier that is gone become part of the number.
- Mill village and older cottages
An older West Columbia cottage with layered repairs gets a written offer as it stands.
- A house still full of belongings
Furniture, tools, and a parent's things can stay. Keep what matters and leave the rest.
- Roof and termite damage
Worn shingles or old termite damage is a disclosure item, and it simply becomes part of the pricing.

What Cayce and West Columbia sellers run into before closing
Cayce's 47-day median assumes a show-ready house with clear title. Four South Carolina and Lexington County rules often decide how long a sale here really takes.
West Columbia rentals must be registered
West Columbia requires owners of short-term and long-term rentals to register each property with the city, and owners and property managers need an active City of West Columbia business license. Short-term rentals, under 30 consecutive days, also need zoning approval and a permit that costs $150 a year per unit (City of West Columbia). A landlord ready to stop renting can sell with the tenant in place.
A sale resets the tax value
Lexington County carried out a countywide reassessment in 2025, and the next is scheduled for 2030 (Lexington County Assessor). Reassessment increases are capped at 15% over five years, but the cap does not apply in the year a transfer value is first taxed (S.C. Code 12-37-3140). A legal residence is assessed at 4% of fair market value and a rental or second house at 6% (S.C. Code 12-43-220), so an inherited house that becomes a rental can cost more to hold.
An estate waits for the Probate Court
A personal representative has to publish a notice to creditors once a week for three weeks, and creditors then have eight months from the first notice to present claims (S.C. Code 62-3-801). Unless the will grants a power of sale, the personal representative needs a court procedure to sell the house (S.C. Code 62-3-711). The small estate affidavit is limited to $45,000 and collects personal property only, never the house (S.C. Code 62-3-1201). Propcash can wait for the appointment and close when the paperwork is ready.
Foreclosure and tax sales run on Lexington's calendar
Lexington County's Master-in-Equity holds judicial sales on the first Monday of the month at the Judicial Center (Lexington County Master-in-Equity). After a foreclosure sale the sale stays open for 30 days for a higher offer, unless the lender's complaint waived a deficiency judgment (S.C. Code 15-39-720 and 15-39-760). The county scheduled its 2026 delinquent tax sale for November 2 (Lexington County Treasurer), and an owner has twelve months from a tax sale to redeem, with interest of 3% to 12% of the sale amount (S.C. Code 12-51-90).
Who buys houses for cash in Cayce and West Columbia, and are they legit?
Most cash buyers here are real businesses, though not all. Who buys houses for cash in Cayce? Landlords adding rentals, renovators who take on older houses, and national direct cash buyers like Propcash, which makes cash offers as a principal. Whether you searched sell my house fast Cayce SC, sell my house fast West Columbia SC, or cash home buyers in West Columbia, SC, ask every company who signs the contract and who puts up the money.

South Carolina requires a Real Estate Commission license to advertise or market real estate owned by someone else for pay (S.C. Code 40-57-20 and 40-57-30), so ask directly whether the company is the buyer or someone marketing your house to others.
Sell my house fast in Cayce or West Columbia, SC: common questions
Who buys houses for cash in Cayce?
Cash buyers in Cayce include local landlords, renovators, and national direct cash buyers like Propcash, which makes cash offers as the principal rather than as an agent. Propcash prices the house on recent Lexington County sales, shows you how it reached the number, and lets you pick the closing date. When listing with an agent would likely serve you better, we say so and can point you to a local agent. We may receive compensation from agents we refer.
How do I sell my Cayce house fast?
Share the address, get one written cash offer, and pick a closing date. Nothing has to be repaired or shown first, and a South Carolina closing attorney can settle the sale in as few as 7 days after the contract is signed. A listed Cayce house took a median of 47 days to sell in the three months ending October 2026 (Redfin, October 2026), before the buyer's loan and appraisal.
Can I sell my house fast in West Columbia, SC?
Yes. Propcash makes cash offers on houses across West Columbia, from the mill village near the river to houses built in the 1970s and later. If the house is a rental, West Columbia expects it to be registered with the city and the owner to hold a city business license (City of West Columbia), and the tenant can stay in place through the sale. Start at our cash offer form.
Do cash home buyers in West Columbia, SC, buy houses as-is?
Many do, and Propcash makes as-is cash offers on West Columbia houses: nothing is repaired, cleaned, or emptied first, and no fees or closing costs are charged to you. The condition is priced into the offer instead of handed to a contractor. If an owner will not clean up a property, West Columbia can clean it up, ticket the owner, and place a lien for the cost (City of West Columbia), and a lien like that is usually paid from the proceeds at closing.
Do I need a disclosure statement to sell my house as-is in Cayce or West Columbia?
Usually, yes. Selling as-is does not by itself remove South Carolina's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement (S.C. Code 27-50-10 et seq.). It is due before the contract is signed, and the form lets the owner state what they actually know or that they make no representations (S.C. Code 27-50-40 and 27-50-50). Estate sales by a personal representative are exempt, and so is a sale where both parties agree in writing not to complete one (S.C. Code 27-50-30).
What does it cost to sell a Cayce or West Columbia house for cash?
With Propcash, there are no agent commissions, no fees, and no closing costs charged to you. On a typical South Carolina sale, the deed recording fee of $1.85 for each $500 of value (SC Department of Revenue) is the seller's liability by law, with the buyer secondarily liable (S.C. Code 12-24-10 and 12-24-20). Unpaid property taxes or a mortgage payoff come out of the proceeds at closing.
