Newark market numbers
Read each measure with its source, place, and period
The shared display keeps the source, geography, and data period beside its measures. Use them as market context, not as a price for one Newark house. If a Newark-specific number is not displayed, this report does not substitute an unlabeled county, metro, or statewide figure.
What the numbers mean
A Newark-wide figure does not price your house
A market measure describes the homes and period named beside it. Your house may compare differently because of its size, condition, repairs, access, occupancy, title, and sale terms.
Repairs or cleanout can change the cost of preparing for a listing. If tenants live there, access and timing may affect the comparison too. For either path, include the costs you would keep paying while the house is for sale.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare that option with the work, costs, and timing of listing your particular house.
New Jersey selling costs
Put the transfer fees in the comparison
New Jersey charges the seller a realty transfer fee when the deed is recorded. It is calculated in $500 increments, with rates that rise as the sale price moves into higher bands. For sales of $350,000 or less, the state’s examples are $600 on a $150,000 sale and $935 on a $200,000 sale; above $350,000, a higher rate schedule applies to the whole price.
A separate graduated percent fee also applies to home sales above $1 million unless the transfer is exempt. The rate applies to the whole price: 1% over $1 million through $2 million, 2% over $2 million through $2.5 million, 2.5% over $2.5 million through $3 million, 3% over $3 million through $3.5 million, and 3.5% above $3.5 million. Check the state schedule for the band that fits your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey’s realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee. 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 realistic listing price or written offer with the costs for your house: repairs and cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, utilities, insurance, and the time you carry the property. A higher sale price does not automatically mean you keep more.
The Newark calculator lets you change those planning assumptions to compare listing with an as-is sale. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

Newark market report questions
How should I use Newark market numbers to compare a sale?
Read each measure with its named source, geography, and period. A Newark-wide figure is market context, not a price for your address. If a Newark-specific measure is not shown, do not treat an Essex County, metro, or statewide number as a Newark figure.
How can condition, repairs, tenants, and timing change the comparison?
Repairs and cleanout can affect both the likely listing price and what you spend before a sale. Tenant occupancy can affect access and scheduling. Compare those details, the costs that continue while you wait, and the timing you need for your particular house rather than relying on a citywide measure.
What New Jersey transfer fees should I include?
The seller pays New Jersey’s realty transfer fee when the deed is recorded. Its rates rise by price band; a separate graduated percent fee applies to home sales above $1 million unless exempt. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey’s realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Is the sale price the same as the money I keep?
No. Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for the costs that apply to your sale, such as repairs, cleanout, listing commission, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, utilities, insurance, and time carrying the property. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.
