What the numbers mean
A market measure cannot price your particular house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales in the stated place and period. It does not account for your home's condition, access, repairs, or title questions. A modeled typical value is a different measure, not a sale price for your address.
For your comparison, note what repairs or cleanout are needed, whether tenants live there and what access they allow, and when you want to sell. Listing, fixing the house, or waiting can each mean different costs and time carrying utilities, insurance, and any mortgage payments.
Put those property-specific facts beside the market context before comparing a written offer with an estimated listing result. The numbers on this page do not replace an address-level review.
Texas selling costs
No real-estate transfer tax, but the deed still gets recorded
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership of real property. That means there is no sale-price-based real-estate transfer tax to add to your comparison. The Texas Constitution says no law may be enacted after January 1, 2016, imposing that kind of tax on a full-ownership transfer.
The deed still has to be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not by the sale price; a deed that leaves out the buyer's mailing address can cost more to record. Abilene spans Jones and Taylor Counties, so check the parcel's county before confirming which clerk's requirements apply. The linked recording information is for Taylor County properties.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
What you may keep
Sale price is not the same as money left after costs
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer. Then subtract the costs that fit your path, including mortgage payoff, repairs, cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The net is what remains after those costs, not the price at the top of the offer.
Use the Abilene home-sale net proceeds calculator to change its assumptions and compare what you may keep. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Abilene market report questions
Does an Abilene market figure tell me what my house will sell for?
No. Redfin reports completed-sale activity and Zillow reports a modeled typical home value; neither prices your particular address. Condition, repairs, access, tenants, title, costs, and timing all affect your comparison.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership. A deed still has to be notarized and recorded, and the county clerk charges a recording fee. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What should I subtract to see what I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change its planning assumptions; its result is only an estimate.
How can I compare a direct as-is sale with listing?
Use the address, condition, repair needs, occupancy, and timing to compare the written terms with a realistic listing estimate and the costs of repairs, showings, and waiting. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
