What the market numbers mean for your house
Repairs, tenants in place, and how long you can wait can change the costs and options you compare for your house.
Compare what you could keep after the costs—not just the top-line sale price. A listing may involve repairs, cleanout, marketing time, and bills while you wait; a direct as-is sale gives you another set of written terms to compare.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Vermont closing costs and Town of Bennington records
Vermont’s general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a 1.47% total. A year-round house 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.

The sale price is not the money you keep
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer. Then subtract the costs that fit your situation: mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while the house is for sale. The amount left after costs is what matters to your comparison.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
