What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your house
Condition and repair needs can change both the price a listing may bring and the work or cost before showings. If tenants live there, occupancy, lease terms, and access can affect the comparison. Timing matters too: compare the date you need with the bills you would carry while waiting.
A town-wide measure summarizes activity for its stated area and period. It cannot account for your house's condition, repairs, occupancy, or sale terms, so use it as context rather than a price for the property.
Selmer is McNairy County's county seat. If a code, permit, or zoning question comes up, call us with the property address — we'll help you find the right Town contact.
Tennessee selling costs
Include the realty transfer tax in the closing numbers
Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater. If both the price paid and the property's value are $100,000, the tax is $370. By law, the buyer pays the tax, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state. It is a state tax. Some transfers are exempt, including certain transfers between spouses, divorce settlements, an executor's deed carrying out a will, and transfers into or out of a revocable living trust.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. 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
Start with a realistic listing price or written offer, then compare repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the bills you carry while waiting. The Selmer calculator lets you change planning assumptions to compare what may remain after costs.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Do Selmer market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
