What the numbers mean
Compare the market with the house you would sell
The Redfin median is based on completed sales in the displayed place and period. Neither that figure nor the other market measures tells you what one Bloomington house will bring.
Zillow’s typical-home-value measure is modeled, not a completed-sale price for your house: $268,640 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Bloomington, IL).
Condition and repairs, whether a tenant lives there, access for showings, and the date you want to sell can all change the comparison. A town-wide number does not price your particular house.
We buy houses as-is in Bloomington and McLean County. If the house needs work, you do not have to repair it, clean it, or clear it out to sell to us. Compare that option with the repairs, time, and costs involved in listing or waiting.
Local selling costs
Illinois transfer taxes depend on the property’s location
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The property’s actual county and city, taxable value, exemptions, and transaction terms determine which local charges apply and the total.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
What you may keep
Sale price and net proceeds are different numbers
Your sale price or offer is the amount before costs. Net proceeds are what remains after the mortgage payoff and other costs are accounted for. When comparing a listing, include repairs or cleanout, selling costs, and the bills you would carry while waiting; for any sale, use the payoff and closing figures for your property.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Questions about the market and selling costs
What do the current Bloomington market measures tell me?
Redfin sale prices and activity, Zillow’s modeled typical home value, and the number of homes for sale describe different things. Compare each figure with its stated place and period; none prices your particular house.
Does Bloomington’s median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. A citywide median summarizes other sales in a stated period; it does not price your address. Condition, needed repairs, occupancy, access, title, and the timing you want can change the comparison.
How can repairs, tenants, or timing change my options?
Repairs and cleanout can add cost and work before a listing. A tenant can affect access and timing, and carrying costs continue while you wait. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us the property’s condition, occupancy, and timing so you can compare the paths.
What transfer taxes may apply to a Bloomington sale?
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The property’s actual county and city, taxable value, exemptions, and transaction terms determine which local charges apply and the total. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. What you keep after closing is the sale price or offer minus costs such as your mortgage payoff, selling costs, repairs or cleanout if you list, and expenses while you hold the property. Use the calculator with your own assumptions to compare estimated net proceeds.
How do I ask for a Bloomington cash offer?
Use the form on this page or call 888-274-5006. Share the property address, condition, occupancy, and the timing you are considering. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
