What the numbers mean
Start with the market, then compare your house

Your home's condition, needed repairs or cleanout, whether someone lives there or rents it, title or payoff details, and when you need to sell all shape your comparison and what you may keep.
If you list, include repair work, commission, closing costs, and bills while the house is on the market. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Local selling costs
New York State and Broome County transfer tax
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 state tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Broome County Clerk describes the ordinary combined transfer tax as $5 per $1,000, rounded up to the nearest $500: $4 per $1,000 for New York State and $1 per $1,000 for Broome County. Exemptions and the actual transaction matter.
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. This does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What you may keep
Compare the sale price with the money left after costs
The sale price is not the amount you take home. To compare a listing with a written cash offer, account for repairs and cleanout, agent commission if you list, closing costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and bills while you wait. What remains after the applicable costs and payoffs is the amount you may keep.
The calculator lets you change the sale price, payoff, repair, and selling-cost assumptions for a side-by-side estimate. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Does the Binghamton median price tell me what my house is worth?
The median is a broad comparison. Repairs, occupancy, payoff details, and when you sell affect the numbers for your house and what you may keep.

What transfer tax applies to a Broome County home sale?
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500, or part of $500, when the sale price exceeds $500; the seller normally pays the state tax unless the agreement says otherwise.

Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for repairs and cleanout, listing commission if you list, closing costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
