What the numbers mean
Use the numbers as a starting point
Town-wide figures offer one starting point. Your home’s condition, needed repairs, occupancy, access, and timing shape what an as-is sale or listing could mean for you.
Zillow’s model offers another reference point: $264,156 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for St Johnsbury, VT).
Repairs, cleanout, and access affect what listing takes. If tenants or others live there, showings and timing may need coordination. Bills you pay while waiting belong in the comparison too.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare that option with a realistic listing plan for the specific property, not just a town-wide figure.
Local selling costs
Vermont’s property transfer tax depends on the buyer’s use
For your comparison, use a transfer-tax amount based on how the buyer will use the property. Vermont’s general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a 1.47% total. A house fit for year-round living that is neither the buyer’s principal residence (the state’s main-home category) nor a qualifying long-term rental has a higher total rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment; the closing attorney applies the right category.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

What you may keep
Sale price and net proceeds are different numbers
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs that apply to your sale. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
