What the numbers mean
A Harrisonburg-wide figure is not a price for your house
Each measure has its own source, geography, and reporting period. A sale-price median summarizes reported sales; a modeled home-value figure answers a different question. Neither one accounts for your home’s size, condition, repairs, or sale terms.
Repairs and cleanout change the cost of a listing plan. Whether the house is occupied, vacant, or rented can affect access and timing. Include the lease situation, payoff, and the bills you would keep carrying while you compare options.
Local selling costs
Virginia taxes and closing costs to compare
Virginia’s grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value — about 0.1%. That is $100 on a $100,000 sale. State law assigns the tax to the seller, though the sale contract can shift who pays. Virginia also has separate state recordation taxes and, where adopted, local recordation taxes.
The additional regional WMATA and congestion-relief fees, and the Hampton Roads transportation-improvement fee, apply in the specific districts named in state law; Harrisonburg is not among those listed localities. Exemptions, the contract, and the transaction details can change the amount due, so the settlement agent confirms the actual figures.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
That closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
- Virginia Code §58.1-802 — grantor tax
- Virginia Code §58.1-801 — state recordation tax
- Virginia Code §58.1-814 — local recordation tax
- Virginia Code §58.1-802.3 — regional WMATA capital fee
- Virginia Code §58.1-802.4 — regional congestion relief fee
- Virginia Code §58.1-802.5 — regional transportation improvement fee
- Virginia Code §33.2-2501 — regional transportation improvement fee
What you may keep
Compare the sale price with the money left after costs
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then subtract mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the costs of repairs, listing, and carrying the house while it is for sale.
Use the Harrisonburg calculator to change those assumptions and compare what you might keep from listing or selling as-is for cash. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition. A calculator estimate is not a written offer.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Questions about the market and selling costs
Does the Harrisonburg median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. A market median summarizes sales for the place and period shown; it does not price your address. Condition, repairs, size, occupancy, access, and timing can all change the comparison.
How is Virginia grantor tax figured?
Virginia grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value, about 0.1%. That is $100 on a $100,000 sale. State law assigns the tax to the seller, though the sale contract can shift who pays; the settlement agent confirms the transaction amount.
What should I subtract to estimate what I may keep?
Compare the sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions for your house.
Does the calculator result count as a cash offer?
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition. The calculator is a planning estimate; a written offer is separate.
