If you are deciding whether to fund work, compare actual bids with the sale options and check any city notice or permit question against the address.

Pottsville, PA illustrative estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Compare the actual written terms with your likely retail proceeds after work, showings, commissions, settlement costs, and time.
A listing may suit a house that is ready for buyers and easy to show. Ask an agent for a written pricing plan, and get bids for the work you would do before listing and the work a buyer may ask for later.
Keeping the property preserves the option to use it or rent it, while taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, loan payments, and tenant responsibilities continue. Put those costs beside the sale options and the time you want to spend managing the house.
Gather the deed and current estate or ownership papers before choosing a route.
For a city notice or serious repair question, use the exact address and contact the City of Pottsville office named on the notice before deciding what work to fund.
