What the numbers mean
A market measure is a starting point, not your home’s price
Condition and repairs can change what you compare between a listing and a direct sale. A tenant can affect access and timing, and the time you can wait may change the costs you carry. A town-wide figure does not price your particular house.
Use the condition, occupancy, repair needs, and timing for your address to compare a direct sale with listing or waiting.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Include South Dakota’s real-estate transfer fee in the closing comparison
South Dakota charges a real-estate transfer fee of 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500. State law makes the grantor—the person transferring the property—legally responsible unless an exemption applies. Certain foreclosure deeds and decrees distributing a decedent’s estate are exempt.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate amounts to include in your comparison.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, your mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the property. What remains depends on the actual numbers for your house.
Use the home sale net-proceeds calculator to compare a listing with an as-is sale and change the planning assumptions for your situation.

What do the Aberdeen market measures show?
Each figure is tied to its stated area and period. The measures provide market context, not a price for your particular house.
Does an Aberdeen market figure tell me what my house is worth?
No. A town-wide figure does not price your particular house. Condition, needed repairs, tenant occupancy, access, and the timing you need can all change the comparison for your address.
How does South Dakota’s real-estate transfer fee work?
South Dakota charges a real-estate transfer fee of 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500. State law makes the grantor—the person transferring the property—legally responsible unless an exemption applies. Certain foreclosure deeds and decrees distributing a decedent’s estate are exempt. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the South Dakota real-estate transfer fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Do I need to repair or clean out a house before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Is the sale price the amount I may keep?
No. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, your mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the property. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions to compare a listing with an as-is sale.
