Local selling costs
Kentucky real estate transfer tax
Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500, about 0.1%. On a $100,000 sale, that is $100 before any exemption. The seller, as grantor, owes the tax by law; the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. The value includes the full price paid, including liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt, so have the title company confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale. Recording fees are separate.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Questions about the Madisonville market report
How can Madisonville market numbers help me compare selling options?
Use them as a starting point when comparing a direct sale, listing, or waiting. Your home’s condition, repairs, tenants, access, and timing can change what you may keep.
How is Kentucky real estate transfer tax calculated?
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. State law assigns the tax to the grantor, or seller, and the county clerk collects it before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt and recording fees are separate, so ask the title company whether an exemption applies. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. What you keep depends on the sale price or written offer after costs and amounts due, including repairs, listing expenses if you list, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The calculator lets you compare options using your own assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
