What the numbers mean
A citywide figure does not price your particular house
A market median summarizes other sales; it cannot account for the condition, repairs, or cleanout at your address. Tenant occupancy and access can affect the comparison too, as can the timing that works for you and the costs you carry while deciding.
Compare the options using your actual house and written sale terms, rather than treating a citywide number as your likely price. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Tennessee realty transfer tax
Tennessee charges 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater, when a deed is recorded. At a $100,000 tax base, that is $370. The buyer is legally responsible for this state tax, and the county register of deeds collects it for the state.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
The sale price is the gross amount. What you keep depends on your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, repairs or cleanout, selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. Compare those costs for a listing with the written terms of an as-is sale.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What do the Chattanooga market numbers tell me about my house?
