What the numbers mean
A market measure is a starting point, not a price for your house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales for the place and period shown in the report. It does not price a particular Kenosha house. Treat the city-wide figure as market context, not a valuation of your address.
Condition and needed repairs affect what a buyer may have to take on. If tenants live in the house, occupancy can affect access and timing. Your target date also matters because mortgage payments, utilities, insurance, and other carrying costs can continue while you wait.
We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority. You get a written offer and clear written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. There are no listing-agent showings when you sell to us. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Local selling costs
Keep Wisconsin’s transfer fee separate from other charges
Wisconsin real estate transfer fee
On a sale that isn’t exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That is $300 on a $100,000 sale. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate from this fee. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That promise does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate.

What you may keep
The sale price is not the amount left after costs
Your net proceeds are what remains after costs, not the top-line sale price. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while the house is for sale.
The Kenosha calculator lets you compare listing and as-is cash-sale assumptions using the costs you enter. Change them to fit the house instead of treating a market-wide figure as your take-home amount.

Questions about Kenosha market numbers and costs
Does the Kenosha median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. The market measures describe homes in the stated place and period; they do not price a particular address. Condition, repairs, occupancy, access, title questions, and timing all affect a seller’s comparison.
How can condition, tenants, and timing change my comparison?
Repairs can add cost and preparation to a listing; tenant occupancy can affect access and timing, and holding costs may continue while the sale is pending. We review your property details with you because a town-wide figure cannot show what you may keep.
What is Wisconsin’s real estate transfer fee?
On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That's $300 on a $100,000 sale. It's collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
How do I compare the sale price with what I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you hold the house. The Kenosha home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you compare those assumptions; its result is not the sale price.
