Selling an inherited home. We help the executor or trustee prepare, price, and sell the property, and coordinate with the estate attorney along the way.
Selling an inherited home in West Columbia
Selling an inherited home in West Columbia often means selling an older home that one family owned for decades. Nearly half the homes sold in 29169 and 29172 over the twelve months ending October 9, 2026 were built before 1980, according to Consolidated MLS, and many estate homes need clearing out and some updating before they sell well.
West Columbia is in Lexington County, so an estate that goes through probate is handled by the Lexington County Probate Court. The personal representative, or the trustee if the home is in a trust, is usually the person who signs to sell. Your estate attorney confirms what applies.

What probate & trust looks like in West Columbia
Across the Congaree River from downtown Columbia, from the River District in 29169 to suburban 29170 and the quieter 29172.
West Columbia has three residential ZIP codes with very different homes: 29169 around the River District and central streets, 29170 along Airport Boulevard and Platt Springs Road, and 29172 to the south.
- The homes
- In 29169, older brick ranches and cottages, nearly half built before 1980, plus newer townhomes like Faith Hill. In 29170, single-family suburban homes and new subdivisions such as Cottages at Roofs Pond and Pinecrest. In 29172, older one-story homes and some larger lots.
- Why people choose it
- People choose 29169 for the riverwalk, restaurants, and a short trip across the Gervais Street bridge, 29170 for newer homes and airport access, and 29172 for a quieter setting.
- Schools people ask about
- School assignment is set by address, and district lines do not follow ZIP codes, so we confirm it for each home.
- Getting around
- The Gervais Street bridge leads into downtown Columbia. Airport Boulevard and Platt Springs Road carry most traffic in 29170, near Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
- Nearby
- The River District's restaurants, public art, and riverwalk along the Congaree, and everyday shopping along the Airport Boulevard corridor.
- The trade-off
- Older 29169 homes may need updating, and the newer 29170 subdivisions sit farther from the river and downtown.
