What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your house
A median sale price summarizes completed sales; Zillow's typical home value is a model. They describe different things, and neither sets a price for your Marion house.
For current typical home-value context, see $182,490 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Marion, IL). It is a market measure, not a price or offer for your particular house.
Condition and needed repairs can change what you compare. Tenants, access to the property, and how long you can wait can matter too. A town-wide number cannot account for those details about your house.
Local selling costs
Include Illinois transfer taxes in the closing comparison
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents per $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. Exemptions and the taxable value can change the amount.
The property's actual city and county—not just its mailing address—determine which local transfer taxes apply. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a sale price or written offer with repairs, listing costs if you list, closing costs, your mortgage payoff, and the bills you carry while waiting. The Marion calculator lets you compare those costs using your own assumptions.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Marion market report questions
Do Marion market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. Market figures describe broader activity or modeled values, not the price of your particular house. Condition, needed repairs, tenants, access, and how long you can wait all affect the comparison for your property.
When you pay closing costs, does that include my mortgage or back taxes?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. 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 costs and amounts due, including repairs, listing costs if you list, closing costs, your mortgage payoff, and bills while you wait. The calculator is just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
