What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure cannot price your particular house
Market measures describe a group of homes for a stated place and period; they do not account for the condition or repairs at one address. A modeled home-value figure is also different from a completed-sale price.
Repairs and cleanup can change the costs you compare. Tenants and access can affect the options for showing or working on a house, and timing can change how long you carry its bills. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Lea County recording fees are based on document entries
The Lea County Clerk fee schedule lists $25 to record a document with up to 10 index entries, plus another $25 for each additional block of up to 10 entries (NMSA §14-8-15). That is a document-recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
Check the current schedule for the document and filing details that apply to your sale. The county fee is a recording charge, separate from the sale price.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then compare repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. What remains after those costs is different from the top-line price.
Use the Hobbs calculator to change planning assumptions and compare listing with an as-is sale. The result is an estimate, not an offer. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Does a Hobbs market figure tell me what my house is worth?
No. A market-wide measure cannot account for the condition and repairs at your address, tenant occupancy and access, or the timing you are working with. Compare those details for the actual property.
How are Lea County recording fees calculated?
The Lea County Clerk fee schedule lists $25 to record a document with up to 10 index entries, plus another $25 for each additional block of up to 10 entries (NMSA §14-8-15). That is a document-recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. The amount left depends on the sale price or written offer minus costs and payoffs, including repairs, cleanout, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
