What does this mean?

Excellent equity position. Your net proceeds represent a significant return on your original investment. Consider a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains if reinvesting in real estate.

What Is a Seller Net Sheet?

A seller net sheet is a detailed estimate of how much money you'll actually receive after all the costs of selling your home are deducted from the sale price.

Common seller costs include: real estate agent commissions (typically 5–6% split between listing and buyer's agents), title insurance, escrow fees, transfer taxes, recording fees, attorney fees, and any repair credits negotiated with the buyer.

Pro tip: After the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer agent commissions are no longer automatically included in the listing agreement. Sellers may negotiate what — if anything — they offer toward the buyer's agent commission.

Don't forget to account for capital gains tax if applicable. If you've lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you may exclude up to $250K (single) or $500K (married filing jointly) in gains from federal taxes.
