What will I make in my home sale?

In the first quarter of 2021, sellers raked in an average profit of $70,050 on the sale of their homes, up 26% year-over-year. If you’re thinking about selling in 2022 and wondering where you’d come in, here’s how to estimate your proceeds:⁣

Take your home sale price (the price a buyer has agreed to pay you for your home) and subtract:⁣

  • Fees paid to the agents. Keep in mind the seller pays the commission for both the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent (typically 6% of the home sale).⁣

  • Cleaning and staging costs.⁣

  • Costs of home repairs and upgrades.⁣

  • Seller concessions you agree to offer buyer (home warranty or closing costs).⁣

  • Moving expenses.⁣

  • Closing costs (title insurance, transfer tax, and escrow money).⁣

  • Mortgage payoff amount.⁣
