Is a cash offer worth it in Van Buren County?

It depends on the house more than the county. On a typical $289,167 Van Buren County sale, a 6% commission is about $17,350 and the transfer tax another $2,490, both of which a cash sale removes or the buyer covers. A cash offer is still below full retail, so the question is whether that discount is smaller than the repairs, fees and months of carrying costs a listing would cost you.
