What the numbers mean
Compare the market with the house you have
Market measures describe the places and periods named beside them. They do not price your Sturgis house. Condition, repair needs, cleanout, tenant occupancy, access, and timing can all change the comparison for your address.
Compare a realistic listing plan or written cash offer with the costs and time you would carry the house. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan’s state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500, or part of $500, of the property’s value at the time of sale. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. At that county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, or $860 total. State law generally assigns the state tax to the seller.
State and county exemptions are separate. The county, value used for the transfer, and any exemption matter for the actual sale, so confirm the amount for the property rather than treating the example as a Sturgis-specific bill.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Sturgis and St. Joseph County details
Check the parcel’s city and occupancy details
St. Joseph County lists “Sturgis City” and “Sturgis Twp.” separately. A Sturgis mailing address alone does not confirm that a parcel is inside the City, so check the property record or an official map before relying on city-specific records.
The City says non-owner-occupied dwellings, including single-family and multi-family homes, must be registered and inspected annually under its rental program. Check the property’s status and current requirements with City Community Development. This rental-program information does not establish a general inspection requirement for every sale. If tenants affect your comparison, read the Sturgis tenant-occupied sale options.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then compare mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, and the bills you carry while waiting. What remains after costs is different from the top-line sale price.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.

Sturgis market report questions and reviews
Questions about Sturgis market numbers and selling costs
What do the Sturgis market numbers tell me about my house?
The shared display keeps each available measure with its source, geography, and period. Those figures describe market activity or a modeled value; they do not price your particular address.
How are Michigan real estate transfer taxes calculated?
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500, or part of $500, of the property’s value at the time of sale. County tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part. At the 55-cent county rate, a $100,000 sale has $750 in state tax and $110 in county tax, or $860 total, before any exemption. State law generally assigns the state tax to the seller. State and county exemptions are separate, so confirm the county rate and the actual sale details.
Does a Sturgis mailing address confirm that a house is inside the City?
No. St. Joseph County lists Sturgis City and Sturgis Township separately. Check the property record or an official map to confirm the parcel’s municipality before relying on city-specific information.
What should I check if the Sturgis house is rented?
Sturgis says non-owner-occupied dwellings must be registered and inspected annually under its rental program. Check the address and current requirements with City Community Development; that program information does not establish a general inspection requirement for every sale.
Is the sale price the amount I keep?
No. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you change those planning assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home’s condition.
