Vallejo market numbers
Read each measure with its source and period
The shared display keeps each available figure with its source, geography, and data period. If a measure describes a broader area, treat it as broader-area context rather than a Vallejo-only number.
What the numbers mean
A market measure is not a price for your house
Read each measure with the provider, geography, and period shown in the shared display. A median sale price summarizes completed sales; Zillow's typical home value is a separate modeled measure, not a completed-sale price.
Condition and needed repairs can change what a buyer may pay and what you might spend to list. If tenants live there, occupancy, access, and timing can affect your choices. Include the bills you would carry while waiting. A citywide figure cannot account for those details for your address.
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the time you expect to carry the property. The number at the top of a listing or offer is not the amount left after those costs.
Local selling costs
Check the documentary transfer tax for the property
California counties charge a documentary transfer tax of $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when consideration is over $100. That is $1.10 per $1,000. A lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale is not counted in that consideration.
State law allows a city to take half of the county rate as its share, credited against the county tax; some cities add a separate, larger tax. The purchase agreement can allocate the cost between buyer and seller. The county recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. Have the title company or escrow confirm the applicable tax, exemptions, and taxable amount for the property in Vallejo and Solano County.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Net proceeds are what remains after costs, not the top-line sale price. Compare a realistic listing price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you adjust the assumptions for your comparison.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Questions sellers ask about these numbers and costs
Do Vallejo market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. Each number describes the source, place, and period shown beside it. Condition, repairs, occupancy, title or payoff questions, and timing can change the comparison for your particular house.
How does California documentary transfer tax affect a Vallejo sale?
For a taxable transfer when consideration is over $100, California counties charge $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500. A city may take half of that rate as a share credited against the county tax, and some cities add their own larger transfer tax. Ask the title company or escrow to confirm the applicable city tax and taxable amount for the property. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I compare an as-is sale if the house needs work or has tenants?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Repairs, occupancy, access, and timing can still affect how a listing and a direct sale compare.
How do I compare sale price with what I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer. Then account for your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. Use the calculator link on this page to change the assumptions.
