Compare repairs, payoff, and selling costs with what you may keep →What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your particular house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales for the place and period shown. Zillow’s typical home value is modeled and answers a different question. Neither figure tells you what your Bangor house will bring.
Condition and repairs affect the listing work and costs you may face. Tenants can affect access and timing, while utilities, insurance, and other bills continue as you wait. Compare those details for your house with the timing you want.

Local selling costs
Include Maine’s real estate transfer tax in the comparison
Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, on a deed that transfers real estate. The law splits the tax evenly between seller and buyer. On a $100,000 taxable sale, that is $220 for each side and $440 total. The county register of deeds calculates and collects the tax when the deed is recorded, using the transfer-tax declaration filed with it.
Since November 1, 2025, value above $1,000,000 carries an additional $3.80 per $500. This extra rate applies only to the part above $1,000,000, so most homes are not affected. Some transfers are exempt, but an ordinary sale to a buyer usually does not qualify.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic listing price or written cash offer with the costs for your house. Those may include repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the property. What remains after those costs is different from the headline sale price.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Each measure describes the place, source, and period shown beside it. Those figures offer market context, but a town-wide number does not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, tenants, and timing can change your comparison.
How does Maine’s real estate transfer tax affect a Bangor sale?
For a taxable deed transfer, Maine charges $2.20 for every $500 of value or fraction of $500, split evenly between seller and buyer. A $100,000 taxable sale has a $220 share for each side, or $440 total. Since November 1, 2025, an added $3.80 per $500 applies to the part of the value above $1,000,000. Some transfers are exempt, but an ordinary sale to a buyer usually does not qualify. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. What you keep is the sale price or written offer after the costs that apply to your sale, such as repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the house. Use the calculator on this page to adjust the assumptions for your comparison.
Can I sell a house that needs repairs or has tenants?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. If tenants live there, their occupancy and the timing you want are part of comparing your options.
