What the numbers mean
A city-wide figure does not price your house
The market display labels each measure with its source, area, and period. Treat those numbers as context for Peoria, not as a value for your address.
Condition and repair needs can change the comparison between an as-is offer and a listing that needs work first. A tenant or other occupancy can affect access and timing. Your plans matter too: include the costs you may carry while you wait to sell. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Compare written numbers for your own house rather than applying a town-wide figure to it. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Illinois transfer taxes depend on the property
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. The applicable local taxes and amount depend on the property’s actual city and county, taxable value, and exemptions.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different
Your net is what remains after costs, not the sale price. Compare a possible listing or written cash offer with repairs, your mortgage payoff, selling costs, and bills while you hold the property.
Compare what you may keep with the Peoria calculator →Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Peoria market report questions
Does the Peoria market number show what my house is worth?
No. The figures describe market activity for the source, place, and period shown. They do not price your particular house; condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing affect your comparison.
What should I compare besides the sale price?
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, your mortgage payoff, selling costs, and the bills you may carry while waiting. The top-line price is not the amount you keep.
What Illinois transfer taxes could apply to a Peoria sale?
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 a local transfer tax. Taxable value, exemptions, and the property’s actual county and city affect the amount.
What closing costs does USA Home Buyers pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
