What the market numbers mean for your house
A citywide figure does not price your particular house. Condition, needed repairs or cleanout, whether tenants live there and what access is available, and your timing can all change the comparison. Put those property-specific facts beside a realistic listing plan or written cash offer, including the costs and time you would carry the house while you sell.
North Carolina excise tax and Charlotte geography
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate. For a taxable transfer, the rate is $1 for each $500 of sale price or value, with any part of $500 counted as a full $500. That is $200 on a $100,000 taxable sale. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, including gifts, transfers under a will or by inheritance, and transfers where the buyer pays nothing.
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.
This report’s city measures describe the incorporated City of Charlotte, not every community in the wider Charlotte area. The Census boundary data places Charlotte city within Mecklenburg County; it does not make a parcel-specific tax or venue determination.
What you may keep after the sale
The sale price is the gross amount, not the money left after costs. Compare a realistic 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 time you carry the house.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

What do the Charlotte market numbers tell me about my house?
They describe market activity for the named source, place, and period beside each measure. A citywide median or modeled value is context, not a price for your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing can change your comparison.
Who pays North Carolina’s excise tax when a house sells?
For a taxable deed transfer, North Carolina law assigns the excise tax to the seller. 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.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. The sale price is the gross amount. What you keep depends on costs such as your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, and the time you carry the house. Use the calculator link on this page to compare your own planning assumptions.
