Estimate what you could keep from a Roanoke sale
See what you'd actually walk away with. We started with Zillow's typical home value for Roanoke, $279,227 as of August 2026 (Source: Zillow Home Value Index), and the verified local transfer taxes or filing fees of 50¢ per $500 (about 0.1%) in Virginia grantor tax, plus separate state and local recordation taxes. The calculator's estimated 0.15% VA grantor/recording reserve is not the full tax rate. Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
Roanoke, VA illustrative estimate
Roanoke, VA illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a Roanoke house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Roanoke selling costs: Virginia grantor and recordation taxes
Virginia taxes the deed when it is recorded. The grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value—about 0.1%. On a $100,000 sale, that grantor-tax example is $100. Separate state recordation taxes and, where adopted, local recordation taxes also apply. The sale contract can shift who pays; exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount, so the settlement agent confirms the transaction figures. Virginia grantor-tax law, state recordation-tax law and local recordation-tax law.
The calculator starts with an estimated 0.15% VA grantor/recording reserve, not exact Roanoke recordation-tax math or the full tax rate. The final amounts depend on the transaction and settlement statement.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or share of current property taxes.
What Roanoke sellers here should know
Older homes in named neighborhoods
The City describes turn-of-the-century homes in Old Southwest and 1920s–1950s houses in Grandin Court. Those examples describe neighborhood housing stock, not the condition of any one home. If your house needs work, list the repairs you know about and compare the time and cost of preparing to list with an as-is offer.

This page covers the City of Roanoke; the approved city/county geography is “Roanoke city.” Before using a city record or requirement, match it to the property address. The City's Real Estate GIS is one starting point for a parcel lookup.
Roanoke Valley regional context
The Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission's Roanoke River Blueway Advisory Committee includes the City of Roanoke, City of Salem, Town of Vinton and Roanoke County. Salem and Vinton are regional places near Roanoke; that committee roster does not change this page's Roanoke city market area.

A short overview for Roanoke homeowners considering a direct as-is sale.
Read the short video transcript
Hi, I am David with USA Home Buyers. If you need to sell a house in Roanoke, Virginia, we can help you compare a direct as-is cash sale. Roanoke includes older Roano
ke homes, modest brick ranches and bungalows, hillside houses, small rentals, estate properties, vacant houses, and repair-heavy Roanoke Valley properties, where repairs, tenants, probate authori
ty, code concerns, taxes, or cleanout can complicate a normal listing. We can review the house as-is, explain the cash-offer path, and let you compare it with repairs, public showings,
agent commissions, and waiting for a retail buyer. To request your Roanoke cash offer review, call USA Home Buyers at 888-274-5006, or send the property address through the form on this page.

Questions about selling a house in Roanoke
Can I sell a Roanoke house without fixing it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and what you know about the house so you can compare the written terms with another sale path.
Which transfer taxes and recording taxes can apply in Virginia?
Virginia charges grantor tax when the deed is recorded: 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value, about 0.1%. State recordation tax and local recordation tax where adopted are separate. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms the transaction figures. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or share of current property taxes.
Does an older Roanoke house automatically need major repairs?
No. The City describes turn-of-the-century homes in Old Southwest and 1920s–1950s houses in Grandin Court, but age alone does not establish a particular house’s condition. Note the repairs you know about and compare the cost and time of preparing to list with an as-is offer.
Which area does this Roanoke page cover?
This market page is for Roanoke, Virginia; its listed city/county geography is Roanoke city. Confirm a property’s jurisdiction by its address before relying on city-specific records or requirements.
Which nearby places appear in regional Roanoke Valley context?
The Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission lists the City of Roanoke, City of Salem, Town of Vinton and Roanoke County on its Roanoke River Blueway Advisory Committee. That is regional context; this page’s market geography remains Roanoke city.
