Put the numbers in context
A market measure is not a price for your house
A median summarizes a group of sales in a named place and period. It cannot show whether your house needs a roof, cleanup, or other repairs, or whether a buyer can get access to see it.
Tenants, lease timing, and access can change which sale path is practical. The date you need to sell also matters when you compare listing, repairs, holding costs, and a direct offer.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Virginia taxes and closing costs for a Staunton sale
Staunton is an independent city and its own county-equivalent jurisdiction; it is not part of Augusta County. Augusta County is nearby regional context. For a Staunton address, start with the City's assessor and tax information rather than treating county pages as the city's parcel record.
Virginia charges grantor tax when a deed is recorded. The seller-paid rate is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value — about 0.1%, or $100 on a $100,000 transfer. The sale contract can shift who pays; the settlement agent confirms the amount and any applicable exemptions. Virginia state recordation tax, and local recordation tax where adopted, are separate charges.
The state's named regional WMATA and congestion-relief fees apply to listed Northern Virginia localities, and its regional transportation-improvement fee applies to listed Hampton Roads cities. Those lists do not include Staunton.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from those closing costs.
What you may keep
Compare the sale price with money left after costs
Sale price is the top-line number. What you keep is what remains after costs such as mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, selling expenses, and the time you carry the property. A listing price and a written cash offer are not the same as net proceeds.
Use the existing calculator to change the sale-price, payoff, repair, and selling-cost assumptions for your comparison. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Do Staunton market numbers tell me what my house will sell for?
No. A citywide median or modeled value is a market reference, not a price for your address. Condition, repairs, access, occupancy, title, and timing can change the choices you compare.
Is Staunton part of Augusta County?
No. Staunton is an independent city and its own county-equivalent jurisdiction. Augusta County is nearby regional context, not the county for a Staunton property.
What Virginia selling taxes may affect a Staunton sale?
Virginia grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value, about 0.1%. The sale contract can shift who pays, and the settlement agent confirms the amount and any applicable exemptions. State recordation tax and local recordation tax, where adopted, are separate.
Do you buy houses as-is in Staunton?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between sale price and what I keep?
Sale price is the top-line amount. What you keep is what remains after costs such as mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, selling costs, and the time you carry the property. The linked calculator lets you change planning assumptions.
