Estimate what you could keep from an Aurora sale
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for Aurora, IL, $324,261 as of August 2026 (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and the verified local transfer taxes or filing fees of 0.10% Illinois state tax (50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part), a possible 0.05% county tax (25 cents per $500, or part), and any applicable Aurora city tax; confirm the amount and applicability for the property. Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
Aurora, IL illustrative estimate
Aurora, IL illustrative home sale net proceeds 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.

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.

Selling an Aurora house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don’t have to worry about the house anymore — we’ll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don’t have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You’re done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don’t stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there’s nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Aurora market snapshot
Current market measures are context for comparing sale paths, not a price for one house. Condition, size, access, occupancy, title, and timing still matter.
Current typical home value: $324,261 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Aurora, IL). Zillow's model is not an appraisal or an offer for a particular property.
Prices, timing and your selling options
Home prices in Aurora

Aurora selling costs: state, county, and city transfer taxes
For a taxable Illinois transfer, the state tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500 (0.10%). A county can add 25 cents for each $500 (0.05%), and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The actual county and city, taxable value, and any exemption affect the amount. The City of Aurora publishes separate transfer-tax stamp and Statement of Open Accounts instructions, but the available facts do not establish a city tax amount or whether a stamp or exemption applies to a particular address.
For example, on $100,000 of taxable value, the Illinois state tax is $100. If the county tax at 25 cents per $500 applies, it adds $50 before any city tax. That transaction total is not automatically the seller's share; the written settlement figures show which costs apply. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

What Aurora sellers should know
Check the county and local jurisdiction by address
Census TIGERweb places the Aurora city boundary across Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. City, county, township, and State are different record and service jurisdictions, so an Aurora mailing address does not settle which county or local rules apply. Check the parcel address and records before contacting a county office or relying on a City process.
Census TIGERweb Aurora place query → Census TIGERweb county-layer query →
Allow time for the City's account statement
Aurora says a Statement of Open Accounts comes before the City's real-estate transfer-tax stamp, including an exempt stamp. The City asks for the statement at least five business days before closing. If the property is subject to the City process, use its current instructions and confirm the address-specific requirements.
The City's map also marks Tanner, Riddle Highlands, Palace Street, and Near Eastside as locally regulated historic districts requiring a Historic Certificate of Appropriateness. Check the current map and designated-property information for the actual address; a neighborhood name alone does not establish a parcel's status.

Questions about selling a house in Aurora
Can I sell my Aurora house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us about the address and condition so we can review the house.
Which county is an Aurora property in?
The City of Aurora crosses Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. The city name or a mailing address does not identify the parcel county. Check the exact address and parcel records before using county-specific tax, court, or property-record information.
What transfer taxes apply when an Aurora house sells?
For a taxable Illinois transfer, the state tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The actual amount depends on the property’s county and city, taxable value, and any exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What does Aurora require before its transfer-tax stamp?
The City says a Statement of Open Accounts comes before its municipal transfer-tax stamp, including an exempt stamp, and asks sellers to request the statement at least five business days before closing. Check the City’s current instructions for the property; this does not establish that a City stamp or tax applies to every Aurora mailing address.
Can an Illinois foreclosure sale be postponed if I sign an agreement?
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. Check the dates and instructions on your court papers with your attorney or the court handling your case.
What happens to insurance proceeds if you buy a fire-damaged house?
You keep the insurance money and don’t have to worry about the house anymore — we’ll take care of it. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
