Bellaire, MI illustrative estimate
Bellaire home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
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.
Starting-value basis: Zillow typical home value for Bellaire, MI (As of August 2026): $353,878. Editable estimate, not an appraisal. Source: Zillow Home Value Index
For an ordinary taxable sale at the usual county rate, this estimate adds $3.75 state tax and $0.55 county tax for each $500, or part of $500, of the estimated sale price. Exemptions or a different county rate can change the amount.

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. This estimate uses the tax rate and calculation shown above. Your percentage replaces it. Local taxes, exemptions and the property’s taxable value can change the final amount.
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
3
Close
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Your situation
Choose the situation closest to yours
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's 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.

Selling costs
Michigan state and county transfer taxes
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. County real estate transfer tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part of $500. State and county exemptions are separate, so the property's county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. The seller is generally responsible under state law. See the Michigan state transfer-tax law, the county transfer-tax law, and Antrim County Register of Deeds transfer-tax information.
At the 55-cent county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. The actual taxable value, county rate, and any exemptions matter for a specific sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate sale figures.
What sellers here should know
Start with the exact parcel and how the house is used
Bellaire spans two township jurisdictions
The Village describes Bellaire as spanning Forest Home and Kearney Townships, with the Intermediate River dividing the township portions; Kearney is south and east of the river. These are jurisdiction names, not verified neighborhood boundaries. Antrim County says zoning is administered by local units, so check the parcel address with the Village and the applicable township before acting on a zoning or permit question.

Seasonal use is a local factor, not a property assumption
The Village describes tourism and vacation homes as seasonal influences in the area. That does not tell us whether a particular house is occupied, rented, vacant, or used seasonally. Share the actual occupancy, access, and timing so the property review starts with the right facts.
