Cost to Sell a House Calculator

Estimates only — your contract, lender's disclosure and tax situation govern. List With Agent is not a real estate brokerage. We are an independent marketing and referral service that connects home sellers with licensed real estate agents. This page is general educational information, not legal, financial, or real estate advice.

How it works

Total cost to sell = agent commission + closing costs + seller concessions + prep/repairs/staging + moving. Use it to set a realistic target net price before you list.

Frequently asked questions

What is the total cost of selling a house?

Add agent commission, seller closing costs, any concessions you agree to, and the money you spend preparing and moving. Commission is usually the largest single line, but it is not the only cost.

How much should I budget to sell?

Enter your own figures above. Costs vary widely by state, price point and condition, so a made-up national percentage would be misleading.

Can I reduce the cost to sell?

Commission is negotiable, and you can choose a limited-service or flat-fee listing. You control prep and moving spend. Compare the trade-offs in our guide on avoiding realtor fees.

Does this include the mortgage payoff?

No. This calculator is the cost of selling. Use the home sale proceeds calculator to subtract your mortgage payoff and see net cash.
