What the numbers mean
A market figure is a starting point, not a house price
The measures above describe a market and a period, not the value or likely sale price of one address. A home's condition, needed repairs, cleanup, and access can change what you compare.
Tenant occupancy, lease or access limits, and the timing you need can also affect the options and costs in your comparison. Compare the likely sale amount with the work, carrying time, and selling costs that apply to your house.
Local selling costs
New York transfer taxes and Seneca County records
New York State's real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale before local tax or an exemption. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise; local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer. New York State transfer-tax details →
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from that promise.
For a Seneca County property, use the parcel-specific records to check current property-tax information and recorded documents; the address and sale agreement determine which details apply. Seneca County real property tax information → Seneca County Clerk → Seneca County online land records →
What you may keep
Sale price and net proceeds are different numbers
The sale price is the gross amount. What remains depends on costs such as mortgage payoff, liens or taxes due, repairs and cleanup if you list, and other selling costs. The home-sale calculator lets you compare estimated outcomes after costs instead of treating a market figure as the amount you would keep.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Paychex offered me a position at their Scottsdale office and I had five weeks. My house in Irondequoit was fine but I couldn't do open houses and wait on financing. USA Home Buyers closed nine days after I accepted. I was in Arizona before my start date.”
“Monroe County family court, sale required. Park Avenue condo, beautiful neighborhood, but neither of us could buy out the other and we both needed the money to start over. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer the same week we called. Both attorneys said yes, closed in thirteen days.”
“I was behind on my mortgage after a medical situation. New York judicial foreclosure takes 12-24 months, but once the bank files in Monroe County Supreme Court, your options narrow fast. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where I stood and closed before the foreclosure judgment. I walked out with enough to start over.”
Seneca Falls market report questions
Does a Seneca Falls market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. Each figure describes a source, measure, place, and period; a town-wide figure does not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing all affect the comparison.
Who normally pays New York real estate transfer tax?
The seller normally pays the New York State base transfer tax, unless the sale agreement provides otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax on residential sales of $1 million or more is normally paid by the buyer.
Can I sell a house that needs repairs or cleaning?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. The amount left after a sale can depend on your mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, repairs, and selling costs. Use the calculator to compare estimates for your situation; the actual numbers depend on the property and transaction.
