Does Manhattan Have a Pre-Sale Home Inspection?

No – Manhattan does not have a pre-sale home inspection.  Many towns in Illinois do have a pre-sale home inspection required by the city or village, but the Village of Manhattan does not require a pre-sale home inspection.  Note that a home inspection would still be part of the real estate sale process, but that would be an inspector hired by the buyer, and unrelated to the Village of Manhattan .  The main involvement from the Village of Manhattan you would have would be to have the water account changed to the name of the buyer, and for the seller to have the final water bill paid right before closing.  This form is provided by the Village to transfer the water and sewer account from the seller to the buyer.

Are There Any Hidden Costs Specific To Manhattan To Buy Or Sell A Home?

The main fee that most people do not know about to buy or sell a home in Manhattan isn’t a fee from the Village of Manhattan, but is a fee from the State of Illinois and Will County.  Both the State and the County have a “transfer stamp” fee, which is essentially a tax upon buying or selling a home.  This fee can change, but as of the date of this post,  per the Illinois Realtors Association, the State of Illinois Transfer stamp fee is $0.50/$500, and the Will County Transfer Stamp fee is $0.25/$500.  These fees are customarily paid by the seller.  For a $400,000 house, the total transfer stamp fees would be $600 ($400,000 * $.75/$500).
