Estimate what you could keep from a New Bern sale
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for New Bern, NC, $283,749 as of August 2026 (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and the verified local transfer taxes or filing fees of 0.2% (North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances; Craven County has no additional land transfer tax). Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
New Bern, NC illustrative estimate
New Bern home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a New Bern house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don’t have to worry about the house anymore — we’ll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don’t have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You’re done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don’t stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Send us any notices or orders so they can be checked before closing. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there’s nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

New Bern selling costs: North Carolina excise tax
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counting as a full $500. That is 0.2%, or $200 on a $100,000 sale. The seller pays it before the deed is recorded, and the Register of Deeds marks the deed to show it was paid. Some transfers are exempt. Craven County is not among the seven northeastern counties that add a 1% land transfer tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

What New Bern sellers should know
Have the property address and sale amount ready
North Carolina calculates the excise tax in $500 increments, and exemptions can apply. Use the property address and written sale terms when you ask the closing company or Craven County Register of Deeds to confirm the amount and recording steps for your deed. A general market figure cannot answer a property-specific tax or title question.

It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
