What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales in its stated area and period. A typical home-value figure is modeled, not a completed sale. The measures answer different questions and neither sets a price for your address.
For current typical home-value context, Zillow reports $281,822 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Farmington, ME). It is a market measure, not an appraisal or a price for your house.
Condition and needed repairs can change what a listing involves. Tenants can affect access and timing, and your schedule affects how long you may carry the house and its bills. Compare those details with the options available for your property.
Local selling costs
Include Maine's real estate transfer tax in the comparison
Maine taxes each deed that transfers real estate at $2.20 for every $500 of value, or fraction of $500. State law splits the tax evenly between seller and buyer. On a $100,000 sale, that is $440 total, or $220 for each side.
Since November 1, 2025, the part of the value above $1 million carries an additional $3.80 per $500; most homes are not affected. Some transfers are exempt, but the exemptions have conditions, and an ordinary sale to a buyer usually does not qualify. The county register calculates and collects the tax when the deed is recorded.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Farmington is Franklin County's seat, but the Town and County have different roles: the Town handles municipal assessment and code/planning questions, while County offices handle probate and land records.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions to compare listing with an as-is sale.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Farmington market report questions
Do the Farmington market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
Each displayed measure belongs to the source, place, and period shown with it. Use the figures as market context, not a price for your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing can change your comparison.
How does Maine real estate transfer tax affect a sale?
Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, on a deed that transfers real estate. State law splits the tax equally between seller and buyer. Since November 1, 2025, value above $1 million also carries an extra $3.80 per $500. Some transfers may be exempt, but exemptions have conditions and a regular sale to a buyer usually does not qualify. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the 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. Money left after a sale depends on the sale price or written offer, selling costs, payoffs, repairs or cleanout, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you compare a listing with an as-is sale using your own assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
Can I sell a Farmington house as-is?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses in the Town of Farmington and Franklin County, Maine.
