What the numbers mean
A market measure does not price your particular house
A market measure describes the sales or homes included by its source for the place and period shown. It is a starting point, not a price for your Mount Vernon address.
Condition and needed repairs can change the comparison. So can whether the house is occupied by tenants, how access works, and when you need to sell. Compare those details with the work and costs of listing or holding the house.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare that option with the repairs and timing involved in a listing.
Local selling costs
Washington real estate excise tax can affect what remains
Washington calls its transfer charge real estate excise tax (REET). The Department of Revenue says the seller generally pays it. The state portion is graduated by taxable selling price and classification, and local REET is added, so the exact amount depends on the property's location and transaction. Ask the closing professional to confirm the current rate, any exemption, and the amount for the sale. Washington Department of Revenue: real estate excise tax →
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax. Your mortgage balances, 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
The sale price is the gross amount. Net proceeds are what remains after costs and payoff. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, your mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills you carry while waiting.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
