What the numbers mean
A city-wide measure does not price your particular house
Redfin's sale measures describe completed transactions and market activity for the period shown. Zillow's typical home value is a separate model, and its inventory figure counts homes for sale. Those measures answer different questions; none is a price for one address.
For your comparison, consider the home's condition and repairs, whether it is occupied or rented, how access works, and when you want to sell. A Rochester-wide figure cannot account for those details or tell you what you would keep.
We buy houses as-is in Rochester and Olmsted County. The as-is option means no repairs, cleaning, or cleanout are required to sell to us.
Selling costs
Put the costs that apply to your sale in the comparison
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. For a listing, include any agent commission, repair or cleanout costs, and the bills that continue while you wait.
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 for your house. Net proceeds are what remains after those costs, not the headline sale price. Adjust the assumptions for your own condition, payoff, repairs, and selling expenses.
Compare what you may keep with the Rochester calculator →Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Questions and reviews
Rochester market report questions
Does Rochester's median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. It summarizes sales for the place and period shown; it does not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing all matter to your comparison.
Why are the Redfin and Zillow numbers different?
They measure different things. Redfin's median sale price summarizes completed sales, while Zillow's typical home value is a model and its inventory measure counts homes for sale. Read each with its source, Rochester geography, and period.
What costs should I compare before deciding what I would keep?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. For a listing, include any agent commission, repair or cleanout costs, and expenses that continue while you wait.
Do you buy houses as-is in Rochester and Olmsted County?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
