What the numbers mean
How Barre market numbers fit your sale
Recent sale prices show what buyers paid for other homes during the period shown. Your home's condition, needed repairs, whether tenants live there, and timing all shape the sale options you compare.
Repairs or cleanout can add costs to a listing, tenants may affect access and timing, and the bills continue while you own the house. Compare those costs and the time you expect to carry the home with a written cash offer.
Local selling costs
Vermont property transfer tax depends on the buyer's use
The general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a total of 1.47%. A house fit for year-round living that is neither the buyer's principal residence nor a qualifying long-term rental has a higher total rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment; the closing attorney applies the right category.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then subtract the costs that apply to your sale: mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, repairs and cleanout if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while you wait. What remains after those costs is different from the headline sale price.
Use the calculator to compare a listing with an as-is sale and change the price, payoff, repairs, and carrying-cost assumptions for your situation.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Barre market report questions
What do the Barre market measures tell me about my house?
They give you a starting point for comparing recent market activity. Your home’s condition, needed repairs, whether tenants live there, and timing shape which sale options you compare.
How can repairs, tenants, or timing change what I keep?
Repairs and cleanout can add costs before a listing. A tenant can affect access and timing, and the bills you carry continue while the house is for sale. Compare those costs with the sale price or written offer, not just a market-wide figure.
What Vermont property transfer tax may apply?
The general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for 1.47% total. A year-round home that is neither the buyer's principal residence nor a qualifying long-term rental has a 3.62% total rate. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment; the closing attorney applies the right category.
What is the difference between the sale price and what I keep?
The sale price is the gross amount. What remains depends on your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, share of current property taxes, repairs and cleanout, selling costs, and the time you carry the property. The Barre calculator lets you change the planning assumptions.
