What the numbers mean
A city-wide figure does not price your particular house
Read each figure with its source, geography, and period. A house that needs repairs or cleanout, has tenants or limited access, or needs to sell on a particular schedule can compare differently from a vacant, ready-to-show house.
Zillow’s typical home value is a separate market measure, not a completed-sale price for your property: $295,339 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Johnson City, TN).
Start with what is true about your address: condition, likely repairs, occupancy and access, your timing, and the bills you would carry while waiting. A market-wide number does not include those property-specific costs.
Local selling costs
Tennessee realty transfer tax belongs in the comparison
Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded: 37 cents for each $100 of the greater of the price paid or the property’s value. State law makes the buyer responsible for this state tax. The Department of Revenue explains Tennessee’s recordation taxes in its recordation-tax guidance.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Johnson City spans Carter, Sullivan, and Washington Counties. The county for parcel and deed records depends on the property’s location, so use the correct county record when checking address-specific details.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs, cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the utilities, insurance, and time you would carry the house. The amount left after those costs is not the same as the top-line price.
The Johnson City home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you change assumptions and compare what may remain after costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
