What the numbers mean

A town-wide measure does not price your particular house

Condition and needed repairs can change a listing budget and the offers a seller considers. Tenants and access can affect showings; waiting can add carrying costs. Compare those details for your address instead of treating a Caro-wide figure as your home's value.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

For a fair comparison, put the sale price or written offer beside repairs, cleanup, your mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the time you would carry the house.

Caro and Tuscola County facts

Michigan transfer taxes are part of your selling costs

Caro is in Tuscola County, where city and county offices handle different matters.

City of Caro official website →·Tuscola County local-government directory →

State and county real estate transfer tax

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. County tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part. At the $0.55 county rate, a $100,000 sale value has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. State and county exemptions are separate, so the property's county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the actual sale. Michigan law generally makes the seller responsible for these taxes.

See the Michigan state transfer-tax law (MCL 207.523 and 207.525), county transfer-tax law (Act 134 of 1966), and state exemption provisions (MCL 207.526).

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes.

Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate amounts to include in your comparison.

What you may keep

The sale price is not the amount left after costs

Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you would carry the property. The amount left after those costs is your net proceeds.

Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
