What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your house
The display keeps each market measure with its source, place, and period. A median sale price summarizes completed sales; Zillow's typical home value is a model. They describe different things, and neither sets a value for your address.
For current typical home-value context, see $219,450 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Covington, KY). It is a market measure, not a price or offer for your particular house.
Condition and needed repairs can change the comparison. Tenants, access limits, and the time you can wait can matter too. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Include Kentucky's transfer tax in the closing figures
Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law assigns it to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded.
Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate. Ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax.
That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Keep those amounts separate when you compare the figures for your house.
Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050 — real estate transfer tax →
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare the sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills you carry while waiting. The Covington calculator lets you change planning assumptions to compare a listing with an as-is sale.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Covington market report questions
Do Covington market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. The market measures describe Covington, KY activity or modeled values, not the price of your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing all affect the comparison for your address.
Do I need to repair or clean out a house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How does Kentucky real estate transfer tax affect a sale?
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law assigns the tax to the grantor (seller), and the county clerk collects it before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt and recording fees are separate, so ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. What you keep depends on the sale price or written offer minus costs and amounts due, such as repairs, cleanout, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The calculator lets you compare an as-is sale with listing using your own assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
