How the market fits your house sale
The report's median sale price reflects completed sales; Zillow's typical home value is an estimate. Your home's condition, repair needs, occupancy, and timing also shape your choices.
Tell us about repairs, tenants, and your timing; we'll talk through how an as-is sale compares with listing or waiting. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Include Pennsylvania's transfer tax in the comparison
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax on taxable transfers. Most municipalities also add a local tax; the amount depends on the property's municipality and school district. Not sure which local tax applies? Call us — we'll sort it out with you. For the state's guidance, see the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue's realty transfer tax guidance . We checked these Pennsylvania transfer-tax details on September 24, 2026.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
The sale price is not the amount you keep
Compare a likely sale price or written offer with repairs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, selling costs, and bills while you wait.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What do Scranton's market numbers show?
Redfin shows recent Scranton sales and how long homes take to sell. Zillow shows a typical home value and homes for sale. Together, those measures show recent sale activity and the homes on the market.
How can Scranton's median sale price help me compare?
Compare it with your home's condition, needed repairs, whether tenants live there, and how long you can wait. We'll talk through those details with you and compare an as-is sale with listing or waiting.
What should I subtract to see what I would keep?
What you keep depends on more than the sale price. Compare repairs, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and bills while you wait. The calculator compares an as-is sale with a listing estimate using your inputs.
What our sellers say
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
