What the numbers mean
What a buyer may offer depends on the house
A median sale price gives a broad look at completed Poughkeepsie sales during the period shown. Your home's condition, needed repairs, tenant occupancy, access, and timing all shape the comparison for your property.
Zillow's typical home value is a modeled estimate, separate from completed-sale prices: $504,887 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Dutchess County, NY, county context).
When repairs or tenants are part of the picture, compare the work, access, timing, and carrying costs involved in listing, a direct sale, or waiting.
Local selling costs
New York real estate transfer taxes
New York State charges $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base transfer tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. For example, the base tax on a $100,000 sale is $400 before any local tax or exemption; local transfer taxes may add to it.
A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Dutchess County lists the City and Town of Poughkeepsie separately; this page covers the City.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with the costs and payoffs that apply to your sale: mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and the bills you would carry while waiting. The amount left after those costs is not the same as the top-line sale price.
Use the Poughkeepsie calculator to change the planning assumptions for your comparison. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What New York transfer taxes should I include in a sale comparison?

How is the sale price different from what I may keep?
