What the numbers mean
Your house has its own comparison
A town-wide figure describes a group of homes, not the price your particular house will bring. Condition, needed repairs, tenant occupancy, access, and the date you want to sell can all change the comparison.
Compare a realistic listing plan—including preparation, repairs, commission, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting—with a written as-is offer and the costs that remain your responsibility.
The sale price is not the money left after costs. Include mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, utilities, insurance, and time-related expenses when comparing what you may keep.
Local selling costs
Include Maine’s real estate transfer tax in the comparison
Waldoboro is the Town of Waldoboro in Lincoln County, Maine. Town and county offices have distinct functions; check which one handles the question for your property.
For a taxable deed transfer, Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The law splits the tax evenly between seller and buyer. On $100,000 of taxable value, the total is $440, or $220 each. The portion of value above $1,000,000 has an additional $3.80 per $500; most homes are not affected by that higher tier.
Some transfers are exempt, but the exemptions have conditions; an ordinary sale to a buyer usually does not qualify. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What you may keep
Compare proceeds, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are the money left after costs, not the top-line sale price. Compare a possible listing with an as-is cash sale, including repairs, cleanout, payoff, closing costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator uses editable planning assumptions.
Compare what you may keep with the Waldoboro home-sale calculator →Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Waldoboro market report questions
Questions about your comparison
Do Waldoboro market figures tell me what my house is worth?
No. Read each available measure with its source, geography, and period. A town-wide or broader-area figure is market context, not a price for your address; condition, repairs, tenants, and timing change the comparison.
How much is Maine’s real estate transfer tax?
For a taxable deed transfer, Maine charges $2.20 for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The tax is split evenly between seller and buyer. On $100,000 of taxable value, that is $440 total, or $220 each. Value above $1,000,000 has an additional $3.80 per $500. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
What affects how much I may keep after selling?
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs and cleanout, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, listing costs if you list, other closing costs, and bills while you wait. Those costs make the amount left after closing different from the sale price.
Can you buy a house in Waldoboro as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in the Town of Waldoboro and Lincoln County, Maine.
