What the numbers mean
A citywide figure does not price your particular house
Redfin's median sale price summarizes completed sales for the place and period shown. Zillow's typical home value is a separate modeled measure, not a completed-sale price or an offer for your address.
For current Zillow context, see $298,068 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Duluth, MN). It describes the named geography and month, not one particular house.
Condition and repairs can change what a buyer may offer and what you might spend before listing. If a tenant lives there, the lease, access, and timing belong in the comparison. Utilities, insurance, and other bills can continue while you wait.
Compare the written terms for an as-is sale with a realistic listing plan and the costs and time each path involves. The market measures are context; the address, condition, occupancy, and timing shape your own comparison.
Local selling costs
Minnesota deed tax belongs in the closing numbers
For an ordinary taxable Minnesota transfer with net consideration over $3,000, deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties each add a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax; that county add-on does not apply in St. Louis County. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax. Minnesota law generally makes the seller responsible, and the closing professional confirms the property's county and taxable amount.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
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 the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and bills while you wait. What you keep is the amount left after the costs that apply to your sale, not the headline price.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Duluth market report questions
Questions about your selling-cost comparison
Do Duluth market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. The table describes each measure with its source, geography, and period. A citywide figure does not price your particular house; condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing can change the comparison.
What Minnesota deed tax applies to a Duluth sale?
For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration over $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties add a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax; that county tax does not apply to a Duluth property in St. Louis County. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax, so the closing professional confirms the property county and taxable amount.
Can I sell a house that needs repairs or has tenants?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tenant or lease details, access, and timing still affect the comparison for your house.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. The sale price is before costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, closing costs, repairs or listing costs, and bills while you wait affect what remains. The linked calculator lets you change planning assumptions for a comparison.
