Redfin's sale and activity measures come from completed sales. Zillow's typical home value is a modeled measure, and its inventory figure counts homes for sale. They answer different questions; none prices a particular house.
What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your particular house
A median sale price is the midpoint among completed sales in the stated place and period. It cannot account for your home's condition, repairs, or access. A Zillow model is a different measure, not a completed-sale price or a property offer.
Repairs and cleanout can change what a listing would cost and how long preparation takes. If tenants live there, occupancy and access can affect which sale options fit. Your timing and the bills you keep paying while the house is for sale also belong in the comparison.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare a written offer with the listing path and the costs you would carry either way.
Local selling costs
New Hampshire transfer tax belongs in the closing comparison
Keene is in Cheshire County. New Hampshire charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. Each party's amount is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a sale of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 per party. On a $100,000 taxable sale, each side owes $750, or $1,500 combined.
The closing professional handles tax stamps through the county registry of deeds and the required filings with the Department of Revenue Administration, including any exemption. For recorded land documents, use the Cheshire County Registry of Deeds.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
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, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you would carry the home. The number left after those costs is your net proceeds, not the sale price.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

How does New Hampshire real estate transfer tax work?
Both buyer and seller owe $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of taxable price. Each side is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a sale of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. On a $100,000 taxable sale, that is $750 per side, or $1,500 combined.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
