Estimate what you could keep from a Boyne City sale
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for Boyne City, $420,820 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Boyne City, MI) (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and the verified local transfer taxes or filing fees of $3.75 for each $500 or part of $500 in Michigan state tax, plus generally $0.55 for each $500 or part of $500 in county tax. Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
Boyne City, MI illustrative estimate
Boyne City 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.

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
Selling a Boyne City house in a difficult situation
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.

Michigan transfer taxes and Boyne City selling costs
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. The county 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, county rate, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. State law generally makes the seller responsible for the state tax.
At the $0.55 county rate, a $100,000 taxable sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, or $860 total before any applicable exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

What Boyne City sellers should know
Historic districts and exterior work
Boyne City sits between Lake Charlevoix and the Boyne River. The City identifies the Downtown Historic District, with historic commercial corridors along Water and Lake Streets, and the Pearl Street Residential District along the river and Water Street axis. Those district names are local context, not a determination that a particular parcel is included. If you are planning exterior work, ask the City to check the address and applicable requirements before setting a repair budget.
Short-term rentals
Boyne City Planning & Zoning publishes a short-term-rental application and adopted-ordinance materials. If the house is or has been a short-term rental, ask the City to confirm the current requirements for that address and what records to gather before a sale.
