What the numbers mean
A market measure does not price your address
A median sale price summarizes completed sales during its stated period. Zillow’s typical home value is a separate modeled measure. Read each with its source, place, and period; neither tells you what one particular house will sell for.
Condition and repair needs, whether tenants live in the house, access for showings, and your timing can change the comparison. Listing costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you keep carrying the property matter alongside the price.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare a direct written offer with the costs and timing of listing the same house.
Local selling costs
Check recording costs for the property’s county
The Kent County Register of Deeds is the county land-records office and publishes a fee schedule. Check the current schedule and ask the title company which recording charges apply to your deed.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What you may keep
Sale price is not the amount left after costs
What remains depends on the sale price or offer after you account for your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, selling costs, and bills while you hold the property. Change the calculator assumptions to fit your house and compare the resulting estimates.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Questions about the market report
Does the Grand Rapids market median tell me what my house will sell for?
No. The figures above describe market activity for Grand Rapids, MI, over the periods and from the sources shown. Your house has its own condition, repair needs, occupancy, access, costs, and timing.
What changes the comparison between selling as-is and listing?
Repairs and cleanout, tenant access, listing costs, utilities, insurance, your mortgage payoff, and how long you keep carrying the house can all change what remains. Compare the same property and payoff assumptions for each path.
What closing costs do you pay if I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Seventy-two and seventy-four. We'd been happy in our house near the SC Johnson campus for twenty-eight years. But my wife's mobility isn't what it was and we needed one floor, no stairs. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer and closed in eight days. We're in a ranch in Caledonia now and it's exactly right.”
“Our Southside house had storm drain flooding in the basement two years running — Racine County has been working on the infrastructure but it wasn't fixed yet. The second time, we had mold in the walls and the furnace sat in standing water and died. Repair estimate was $31,000. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is, knew the local flood situation, no surprises. Closed in seven days.”
“Foreclosure in Racine County moves slow — Wisconsin is judicial, so the bank has to go through Circuit Court. Mine was already 9 months in when I finally called USA Home Buyers. They put a written offer on my West Racine bungalow in 24 hours, closed before the sheriff's sale, and I walked away with enough equity to put a deposit on an apartment in Kenosha.”
