What the numbers mean
A market measure is context, not your house price
Redfin’s median sale price summarizes completed sales; Zillow’s typical home value is a separate modeled measure. The current Zillow reference is $428,671 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Raleigh, NC). Read each measure with its displayed source, place, and period; none prices your particular house.
Condition and repairs can change what a seller compares. Occupancy, tenant access, and the timing you need can matter too. A Raleigh-wide figure cannot account for those details at your address.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare that choice with the work and costs of listing or the bills you would carry while waiting.
Local selling costs
Include North Carolina’s excise tax on conveyances
North Carolina charges excise tax when a deed transfers real estate. The rate is $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. State law assigns payment to the seller, who pays the county register of deeds before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt.
Raleigh’s city geography crosses Wake and Durham county lines. Confirm the property’s actual county before choosing a county recording office; county routes are only a starting point until you check the property.
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 you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The Raleigh calculator lets you compare listing with an as-is sale using your assumptions.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Raleigh market report questions
Does a Raleigh market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. The displayed measures describe Raleigh and their stated sources and periods; they do not price your particular house. Condition, needed repairs, occupancy, and timing all affect your comparison.
What North Carolina excise tax applies when a house sells?
North Carolina charges excise tax on conveyances at $1 per $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counted as a full $500. State law says the seller pays it to the county register of deeds before the deed is recorded; some transfers are exempt. 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.
Does Raleigh fall in just one county?
No. Raleigh city geography intersects Wake County and Durham County. Check the property’s actual county before choosing a county recording or other office; the city name alone does not identify the right county route.
How do I compare a sale price with what I may keep?
Compare the sale price or written offer with mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you compare a listing with an as-is sale using your planning assumptions.
