What the numbers mean
A town-wide measure cannot price your particular house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales in the place and period shown beside it. Your house may differ because of condition, repairs, occupancy, or the terms and timing of a sale. A tenant in the house, work it needs, and the bills you carry while waiting are part of your comparison—not details a town-wide figure can fill in.
Zillow’s typical home-value measure is separate from completed sale prices, and neither measure is a price for one address.
Current Zillow figure: $298,174 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Lewiston, ME).
For a direct as-is sale, we buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Include Maine’s real estate transfer tax in the comparison
Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when a deed transfers real estate. State law divides the tax evenly between the seller and buyer. For value above $1,000,000, an additional $3.80 per $500 applies to the portion over $1,000,000; that higher rate took effect November 1, 2025.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

What you may keep
Compare the sale price with money left after costs
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Subtract the mortgage payoff and other selling costs; compare repairs, cleanout, listing costs, and the bills you would pay while waiting. The calculator lets you change those planning assumptions to see how the comparison moves.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Lewiston market report questions
Does a Lewiston market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. The measures name their source, area, and period, but a market-wide median does not price one address. Condition, repairs, occupancy, and the time you carry the property affect your comparison.
Who pays Maine’s real estate transfer tax when I sell to you?
Maine law divides the real estate transfer tax equally between seller and buyer. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What does the net-proceeds calculator show?
It helps compare a sale price with costs and payoffs to estimate what you may keep. It is a planning estimate, not a property-specific offer.
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.”
