When you buy or sell a home in Virginia, you'll need to pay real estate transfer taxes. In Virginia, transfer taxes are $3.50 per $1,000 of home sale price. This is usually split as $1 per $1,000 for the seller and $2.50 per $1,000 for the buyer.

On a $300,000 home, that comes out to $1,050 total — $300 for the seller and $750 for the buyer. As you can see, that adds up quickly!

And that's EVERY SINGLE TIME it's sold. Not only that, but you pay taxes on it each and every year even if you own it outright and if you fail to pay the taxes because they keep increasing the taxes, but your income doesn't increase, they're sure to come and claim it as their own.
