What Are the Hidden Costs of Selling Your Home?
Understand the costs involved in selling, from repairs to taxes, to avoid surprises at closing.
Selling a home involves more than just listing it on the market. Before you sell, consider these costs:
Key Selling Costs:
- Pre-Sale Repairs: A pre-listing inspection can help identify repairs that might deter buyers. Simple updates like fresh paint or fixing leaks can also increase appeal.
- Agent Fees & Marketing: Real estate commissions typically range from 2% to 7%, and you may want to invest in professional marketing to make your home stand out.
- Closing Costs: While most costs fall to the buyer, you may need to cover small fees or contribute to the buyer’s closing costs.
Understanding these expenses helps you control what you walk away with. Want to learn more? Call or text 228-215-1861.
