Keep each measure with the source, place and period shown in the display. These are market context, not an appraisal or a price or timing estimate for one Champaign house.
What the numbers mean
A market measure is only a starting point for your house
The display brings together measures that answer different questions. A sale price, days on market, homes sold, modeled home value and for-sale inventory are not interchangeable, and none tells you what a particular address will sell for.
Condition and repairs can change how much preparation a listing needs. A tenant, access limits or lease timing can affect showings and scheduling. Your preferred timing and the bills you carry while waiting also belong in the comparison.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Illinois transfer taxes depend on the property and transaction
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 may add 25 cents for each $500; with a county tax at that rate, the state and county amounts together are $150 per $100,000 before any city tax.
Some Illinois cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount; the property’s actual city and county determine which local taxes apply and who is responsible for them.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.
That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes. Keep those separate when comparing what you may receive at closing.
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 repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, other closing costs, your share of current property taxes, and bills while you wait. If you list, include the commission and preparation costs you expect. The amount left after these costs is different from the headline sale price.
The Champaign calculator lets you compare your own assumptions for a listing and an as-is cash sale. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers in Champaign have said about working with us.
“Tornado touched down two blocks away in June and our fence, garage, and back half of the roof were destroyed. Insurance took three weeks to send someone. USA Home Buyers was there in two days, made a fair cash offer accounting for the damage, and closed while we were still arguing with the insurance adjuster. The settlement check was mine to keep.”
“My father was a UIUC engineering professor for 28 years. When he passed, my brother and I were in Seattle and Boston — neither of us had been back to Champaign in years. The house in Southwest Champaign had original 1970s HVAC and a basement with water intrusion. USA Home Buyers had a written number within 24 hours and we closed without either of us flying back.”
“After the property management company I worked for closed, I never got fully caught back up. By the time the Champaign County case was filed, I was six months behind. USA Home Buyers got me a written offer within forty-eight hours and closed in thirteen days before summary judgment. I had $31,000 in equity I almost lost.”
Champaign market report questions
Does a Champaign market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. A citywide measure describes a source, place and period; it does not price your particular address. Condition, repairs, access, occupancy, title and timing can all change the comparison.
How can repairs, tenants or timing change my selling options?
Repairs can add time and expense before a listing. Tenant access and lease timing can affect showings and a buyer’s schedule. Compare those costs and constraints with the terms and timing of a direct as-is offer for your specific house.
What Illinois transfer taxes may apply to a Champaign sale?
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents per $500, and some cities impose their own tax. Taxable value, exemptions and the property’s actual city and county affect the local taxes and responsibility. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.
What should I subtract to estimate what I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then compare repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, applicable liens and back taxes, your share of current property taxes, other closing costs, listing commission if you list, and the costs of holding the house while you wait. The calculator lets you compare your own assumptions; its result is just an estimate and may be more or less depending on the home’s condition.
Can I sell a Champaign house as-is?
