What the numbers mean
A market measure is context, not a price for your house
The displayed sale and activity measures describe Virginia Beach and their stated periods. Zillow's typical home value is a separate modeled measure: $427,730 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Virginia Beach, VA). It is not a completed-sale price or a value for your address.
Your comparison depends on the property. Repairs and overall condition, whether tenants live there and what access is available, and the timing you need can change what listing, repairing first, or selling as-is may mean for you. A city-wide figure does not price a particular house.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare that option with the work, costs, and time involved in preparing a listing.
Local selling costs
Include Virginia deed taxes and regional fees in your comparison
Virginia assigns the grantor tax to the seller: 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value, about 0.1%. Virginia Beach is among the Hampton Roads cities with a regional transportation improvement fee of 0.06%; the grantor tax and regional fee together are $160 on a $100,000 sale. Separate state and, where adopted, local recordation taxes may also apply. The contract can shift who pays, and exemptions or transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms the figures for the transaction.
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 payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate; include any that apply to your sale.
- Virginia grantor tax law (§58.1-802) →
- Regional transportation improvement fee (§58.1-802.5) →
- Virginia recordation tax (§58.1-801) →
- Local recordation tax authority (§58.1-814) →
Virginia Beach is an independent city, so local deed, probate, and real-estate tax questions route through City offices rather than a county office. The City Circuit Court Clerk lists land-record and probate services; the City Treasurer lists real-estate tax and delinquent-collection contacts. Confirm the office and account details for the property you are selling.
What you may keep
The sale price is not the money left after costs
To compare what you may keep, start with a realistic sale price or written offer and subtract your mortgage payoff. Then compare repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, closing charges, your share of current property taxes, and the bills you carry while waiting. A market median cannot fill in those property-specific amounts.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Virginia Beach market report questions
Does a Virginia Beach market number tell me what my house will sell for?
No. A market measure describes the named place and period, not your particular house. Condition, repairs, access, occupancy, title questions, and when you need to sell can all change your comparison.
What transfer taxes and fees should I include in a Virginia Beach sale?
Virginia grantor tax is 50 cents per $500 of the greater of the sale price or value, about 0.1%. Virginia Beach also has a regional transportation improvement fee of 0.06%; together those two charges are $160 on a $100,000 sale before separate state and any applicable local recordation taxes. The contract, exemptions, and transaction details can change who pays and the final amount, so have the settlement agent confirm it. 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.
Does Virginia Beach have a county office for deeds, probate, or real-estate taxes?
No. Virginia Beach is an independent city, not part of a county. The City Circuit Court Clerk lists land records and probate services, and the City Treasurer lists real-estate tax and delinquent-collection contacts.
How do I compare a sale price with the money I may keep?
Start with a realistic sale price or written offer, then account for your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, closing costs, any property-tax share, and bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you change the assumptions for your house.
