I'm not sure about every state, but there usually is not "sales tax" because they charge property tax (annually) instead. There may be a transfer tax and/or capitol gains tax to the seller, but the buyer should not have to pay anything at the time of the sale

No sales tax. There may be a capital gains tax. If you are talking about a California property go here:

There is no sales tax, but most states do impose a transfer tax. In my state it is 3% of the purchase price, usually split between the buyer and seller. There are some exceptions. eg. transfer between parent and child, spouses, certain corporations, etc.
Also, many states offer discounts or exemptions for first time homebuyers.
Visit the website for your local Recorder of Deeds or county property website and you should be able to find out what the percentage is in your state.
