New York sale rule
Check transfer tax on the actual sale
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this state tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. A local transfer tax may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
Ask the title or closing professional to show the state tax, any applicable local tax, exemptions, and who pays each amount for your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Paychex offered me a position at their Scottsdale office and I had five weeks. My house in Irondequoit was fine but I couldn't do open houses and wait on financing. USA Home Buyers closed nine days after I accepted. I was in Arizona before my start date.”
“Monroe County family court, sale required. Park Avenue condo, beautiful neighborhood, but neither of us could buy out the other and we both needed the money to start over. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer the same week we called. Both attorneys said yes, closed in thirteen days.”
“I was behind on my mortgage after a medical situation. New York judicial foreclosure takes 12-24 months, but once the bank files in Monroe County Supreme Court, your options narrow fast. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where I stood and closed before the foreclosure judgment. I walked out with enough to start over.”
