What the numbers mean for your house
Market-wide numbers do not price a particular Baraboo house. Its condition, needed repairs, whether tenants live there, access for showings, and the timing you need can all change the comparison. A listing may also mean carrying utilities, insurance, and other bills while you wait.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare that option with the work and costs of listing the house in its current condition.
Wisconsin selling costs
Wisconsin real estate transfer fee
On a Wisconsin sale that is not exempt, the seller pays 30 cents for each $100 of sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
The named transfer fee is separate from mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 77 (§§ 77.21–77.25) →·Wisconsin Department of Revenue transfer-fee report →
City and county offices handle different property questions. The City Treasurer provides city tax and assessment information; Sauk County provides county property-tax information and deed-recording information.
What you may keep
Sale price is not the same as money left after costs
Net proceeds are what remains after selling costs and your mortgage payoff are subtracted from the sale price. Compare a realistic listing price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and the utilities, insurance, and property costs you carry while waiting. A higher headline price does not always mean more money left for you.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Questions sellers ask
Does a Baraboo-wide market figure tell me what my house will sell for?
No. A market measure is context for its stated place and period, not a price for your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing can change the comparison.
How do I compare the sale price with what I may keep?
Subtract the mortgage payoff and selling costs from a realistic sale price or written offer. Repairs, listing costs, other closing costs, and the bills you carry while waiting can change the amount left. The calculator lets you adjust planning assumptions.
Can I sell a house that needs repairs or cleaning?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
