What the numbers mean
Use the market as context, not a price for your house
A market-wide sale measure can help frame the decision, but your house has its own condition, repair needs, access, and sale terms. A house needing work may compare differently from one ready for showings.
Tenants and occupancy can affect access and timing. So can the time you have, the bills you will carry while waiting, and whether you want to repair and list or compare a direct as-is sale. A city-wide number cannot fill in those details for your address.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare the written terms with the work, time, and costs of the other path before you decide.
Local selling costs
Illinois transfer taxes depend on the taxable sale and property location
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. The state tax alone is $100 on $100,000 of taxable value. A county can add 25 cents for each $500; at that rate, the state and county taxes together would be $150 on $100,000 of taxable value, before any city tax. Some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and the transaction's taxable value can change the amount.
The City of Carbondale identifies itself as being in Jackson and Williamson counties. The property's actual county and city determine which local taxes apply, and the transaction affects who is responsible. Check the exact address and settlement details rather than assuming one local rate for every Carbondale property.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for the costs that apply to your house: mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. Those costs affect what remains after the sale; the top-line price is not the same as what you keep.
Use the calculator to change the assumptions and compare a listing path with a direct as-is sale. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
