What the market numbers mean for your house
A town-wide figure can help you compare choices, but it isn't a price for your house. Condition, repairs, tenants, and timing can affect the sale price and what you keep.
Zillow's typical home value: $483,803 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Boone, NC).
Compare the likely sale price or written offer with repair and cleanout costs, your mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you expect to carry while waiting.
Local selling costs: North Carolina excise tax
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate. The rate is $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. That is $200 on a $100,000 sale. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, including gifts and transfers by will or inheritance.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Town of Boone and Watauga County
The Town of Boone has its own housing and zoning information, and Watauga County has separate planning and inspections offices. Not sure which applies to your property? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
What you may keep after the sale
The sale price is not the money left after costs. Compare a likely sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting.
Use the Boone calculator to compare what you might keep from listing or a direct as-is sale. Change the assumptions to fit the house and costs you expect.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Boone market report questions
Does a Boone market number tell me what my house will sell for?
No. A town-wide number is a starting point, not a price for your home. Condition, repair needs, tenants, and timing can all change what makes sense for you.
How does North Carolina excise tax affect a Boone home sale?
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances of $1 for each $500 or part of $500 of the price or value. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded; some transfers are exempt. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What should I compare to see what I may keep?
Start with a likely sale price or written offer, then compare mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, repairs or cleanout, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions for a listing or direct sale.
Do I need to repair or clean out a house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How do I request a written cash offer?
Use the form on this page or call 888-274-5006. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
