How Much Will I Make Selling My House?
When someone decides to sell their home, they usually want to know how much profit they will make from the sale. There is not a standard, the simple answer to this question, there are several factors that determine what the seller will make from the sale.
Factors that will affect the amount you end up with once the sale is done include the amount you still owe on the mortgage and the amount you owe the realtors for their services. Other items to consider, are if you have a second mortgage, a home equity loan, or a line of credit on the property that will need to be paid off when you sell your home.
When selling a home, you are still responsible for paying the interest on your outstanding mortgage balance from the date of your last payment until the date of sale. Property taxes are also the responsibility of the seller, up until the date of the sale. A transfer tax may also be required by local governments once the home is sold. Of course, some incidentals concessions can take away from your profit as well.
