What the numbers mean
Use market numbers as a starting point
The report gives you a broad view of the Henderson market. Your home’s condition, needed repairs, access, tenants, and timing shape the choices for your own sale.

Local selling costs
Include Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax in the closing figures
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law assigns it to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. The taxable value is the full price paid, including liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate, so have the title company confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax.
That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Keep those amounts separate in your comparison.
Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050 — real estate transfer tax →
Henderson City and County offices handle different matters. Not sure which one to contact about your house? Call us — we’ll sort it out with you.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills you carry while waiting. The amount left after costs—not the top-line sale price—is what matters when you compare choices.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

How should I use Henderson market figures to compare my house?
The figures give you a broad look at the Henderson market. Your home’s condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing shape the comparison for your own sale.
How does Kentucky calculate the real estate transfer tax?
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law assigns it to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Value means the full price paid, including liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate, so have the title company confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale.
When you buy my house, what closing costs do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
What should I compare with the sale price to estimate what I may keep?
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, your mortgage payoff, and bills you carry while waiting. Liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes should also be accounted for separately.
Can repairs, tenants, or timing affect my choices?
Yes. Repairs affect what you may spend before a sale; tenants, lease or access details, and the time you can wait shape which options fit. Compare those details alongside the likely price and costs for each option.
