What the numbers mean
A market measure is a starting point, not your house price
Richmond’s typical home value and median sale price give you a starting point. Your home’s condition and repairs, whether it’s vacant or tenant-occupied, and when you need to sell can change the numbers you compare.
An as-is sale, listing, or repairing first may leave you with different amounts after costs. Include the bills you’ll keep paying while you wait.

Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. The law makes the grantor, or seller, responsible, and the county clerk collects the tax before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt; recording fees are separate, so ask the title company to confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale. Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050 →
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
What you may keep
The sale price is not the money left after costs
To compare what may be left, start with the sale price or written offer and subtract the mortgage payoff. Then consider repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and utilities, insurance, or other bills while you wait. A market-wide number cannot fill in those house-specific amounts.
Compare what you may keep with the Richmond calculator →Richmond market report questions
Does a Richmond market measure tell me what my house is worth?
No. A town-wide measure gives context for its stated place and period; it does not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing can change the comparison for your address.
How does Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax work?
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The grantor, or seller, owes it, and the county clerk collects it before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate; a title company can confirm what applies to your sale.
When I sell to USA Home Buyers, what closing costs do you pay?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
How do I compare a sale price with what I would keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while you wait. The Richmond calculator lets you change those planning assumptions for your comparison.
Choose a next step
If the house is inherited, occupied by tenants, facing a notice, or affected by repairs or liens, compare the details for that situation before deciding how to sell.
