What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your particular house
Any market measure is a starting point, not a price for your address. House condition, needed repairs, cleanout, access, and tenant occupancy can change the work and costs in a listing comparison.
Timing matters too: compare the date you need with the time you may spend preparing, showing, and carrying the house. A home with repair or tenant constraints may call for a different comparison than one ready to show.
Local selling costs
Check the parcel's county and both transfer-tax rules
For a sale where the taxes apply, Michigan's state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. At that 55-cent county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, $860 total. Michigan law generally makes the seller responsible for the state tax.
The actual parcel's county, sale value, and any exemption matter. State and county exemptions are separate, so check each tax for the specific sale rather than treating the example as a closing quote. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. That does not pay your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
South Haven spans two counties
The 2025 Census place geometry for South Haven intersects Allegan and Van Buren Counties, so a South Haven address alone does not identify the parcel's county. The City's property-tax page lists both county treasurers as routes for late real-property-tax payments. Check the actual parcel county before using a county office.
City of South Haven property-tax information →What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different
The sale price is the starting amount, not what lands in your account. Compare it with the mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, utilities, insurance, and the time you would carry the property.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition. Change the assumptions to fit your house; the result is not a property-specific offer.

South Haven market report questions
What South Haven market numbers does this report show?
The market display lists each available measure with its source, geography, and period. Those numbers describe market context, not the price of one house.
Can a South Haven market measure tell me what my house will sell for?
No. A town-wide measure does not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, tenant access, and the timing you need can change the comparison.
How do Michigan transfer taxes affect a South Haven sale?
For a sale where the taxes apply, Michigan state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of value, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. County and state exemptions are separate, and the actual county and sale value matter. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
How can I compare the sale price with what I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
