A common misconception is that if your home sells for $500,000, you'll receive a $500,000 check at closing.
In reality, your final proceeds are reduced by expenses such as:
β’ Agent compensation
β’ Title and escrow fees
β’ Buyer concessions
β’ Home preparation costs
β’ Mortgage payoff
β’ Moving expenses
For example, a homeowner selling a $500,000 property with a $300,000 mortgage and approximately 8% in selling costs could walk away with around $160,000, not $500,000.
Understanding your estimated net proceeds before listing your home can help you plan your next purchase, retirement, downsizing, or relocation with much more confidence.
I recently put together a detailed guide explaining the real costs of selling a home in Nevada and the expenses many homeowners overlook.
