What the numbers mean for your house
A town-wide figure is a comparison point, not a price for your particular house. Redfin sale activity and Zillow's modeled home-value and inventory measures are different kinds of data, so read each with its source, Dixon geography, and period in the table above.
Condition and repair needs can change what a buyer will pay and what you may spend before listing. Cleanout, access, a tenant or other occupancy limits, and the time you can wait also affect the choices and costs you are comparing.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare that path with a realistic listing plan, including the work, showings, bills, and time that would fit your property.
Local selling costs: Illinois transfer taxes
For a taxable Illinois property transfer, the state tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. The property's actual city and county, taxable value, exemptions, and transaction details affect which local taxes apply and who is responsible for them. Confirm the amount for the address with the closing professional rather than treating the state rate as a complete total.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
What you may keep after the sale
The sale price is not the same as the money left after costs. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, your mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you would carry while waiting.
The Dixon calculator lets you compare a listing estimate with an as-is sale and change the planning assumptions for your house. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Questions about the Dixon market and selling costs
How should I read the Dixon market measures?
The table names the provider, geography, and period for each measure. Redfin completed-sale activity and Zillow modeled home-value or inventory measures answer different questions; none prices your particular house.
Does a Dixon median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. It describes a group of sales, not your address. Condition, needed repairs, cleanout, access, occupancy, and timing can all change the comparison for your house.
What Illinois transfer taxes may apply when a house sells?
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The property location, taxable value, exemptions, and closing details affect the amount.
What transfer taxes do you pay if I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
How do I compare sale price with what I would keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions; its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
