Common selling costs may include agent compensation, repairs or prep, staging (optional), and possible seller concessions depending on the deal. The most accurate way to know is a seller net sheet based on your home and local market.

Common Cost Categories

  • Repairs or updates — only if strategic.
  • Seller-paid items in negotiation — varies by deal.
  • Closing-related fees — transaction-based.

Triangle-Specific Note

Your neighborhood and price point affect what buyers expect — and what concessions are common. Local context matters.
