What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your particular house
A market measure is a starting point for comparing choices, not a value for one Batavia address. A home's condition, needed repairs, access, occupancy, tenant arrangements, title details, and the seller's timing can all change what a listing or direct offer would mean.
A clean, ready-to-show house with time for listing may call for a different comparison than a house that needs work, has tenants, or cannot wait. Put the actual property facts beside the local figures instead of assuming the town-wide number applies to your home.
Local selling costs
New York transfer taxes belong in the closing comparison
New York State's real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale before any local tax or exemption. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes.
That does not pay a seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.
What you may keep
Compare the sale price with what is left after costs
The sale price is not the same as the money you keep. For a listing, account for likely repairs and cleanout, commissions, closing costs, mortgage payoff, taxes, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the house. Compare those costs with the written terms of a direct as-is offer and the work each path would take.
The Batavia calculator lets you change planning assumptions and compare estimated net proceeds. Those estimates are not an offer; your actual numbers depend on the property and final costs.

Do Batavia market figures tell me what my house is worth?
No. The shared display labels each measure by source, place, and period. A town-wide measure is context, not a price for your address. Condition, repairs, access, tenants, title, and timing can change the comparison.
Why can Redfin and Zillow show different figures?
They measure different things. Redfin reports completed-sale activity, while Zillow’s typical home value is a modeled measure. Read each number with its own source, place, and period rather than treating them as interchangeable.
What New York transfer tax should I include in a sale comparison?
New York State’s real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise; local transfer taxes may add to it. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. That does not pay a seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. What you keep depends on costs such as repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, commissions if you list, other closing costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you compare editable assumptions for your situation.
