Cost of Selling Real Estate.

Cost of Selling Real Estate

Selling a house is a big deal, and while the prospect of new adventures is exciting, let’s not forget about the hidden costs that can sneak up on you. Understanding these expenses beforehand can help make the process smoother and less stressful.

Maintenance Costs

Before you put that "For Sale" sign up, make sure your home is in tip-top shape. This means fixing leaky faucets, touching up paint, and maybe even giving the lawn a little TLC. 

​

Legal Costs

You’ll need a trusty conveyancer or solicitor to handle all the legal mumbo jumbo. Their fees vary, but they’re worth every cent for making sure everything goes smoothly.

Agent's Commission

Real estate agents help you navigate the selling process and their commission is part of the deal. Whether it’s a flat fee or a percentage, this cost is a necessary investment in getting your home sold.

Marketing Costs

Time to make your home a star! From flashy online listings to snazzy brochures, marketing can range from budget-friendly to high-rolling. 

Moving Fees

Don’t forget to factor in the cost of moving your stuff. Whether you’re hiring movers or bribing friends with pizza, this is a cost that’s easy to overlook.

Miscellaneous Expenses

Here are a few extras you might encounter:

Property Styling: If your home needs a little extra flair, staging might be on the list.
Capital Gains Tax: If you’re selling a rental property or land, this tax could pop up.
Strata and Council Fees: Make sure any outstanding rates are squared away before the sale.
