Urbana home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling an Urbana house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Urbana selling costs: the Ohio conveyance fee
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells, and by law the seller pays it: a required $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add under Ohio Revised Code § 319.54 and § 322.02. On a $100,000 sale, that is $100 in state fee and up to $300 in county fee; this is not a verified Champaign County rate. The Champaign County Auditor handles county conveyance-fee questions, and the applicable amount appears in the settlement figures. That is the Ohio conveyance fee. When you sell to us, we pay it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. The calculator's editable 0.4% reserve is an estimate, not a verified full Champaign County fee rate.
What Urbana sellers should know
Downtown and the heritage overlay
The City identifies Downtown Urbana as the City Center Heritage Overlay District, and Monument Square District describes itself as the heart of downtown. We buy houses as-is, so you can discuss an offer without first taking on repairs or cleanup.

Vacant-building and code notices
