Seller Net, Timing & Strategy Calculator

Estimate your net proceeds, compare selling now vs later, test a price reduction, weigh renting the home vs selling, and check simple repair/upgrade ROI – all from one dashboard. For education only.

1. Property & Loan Basics

Core numbers used across all scenarios.
Loan payoff is the amount needed to pay off the mortgage today. Annual paydown is a rough estimate of how much principal you pay off each year if you keep the loan.

2. Selling Costs

Used for all net sheets, now and in the future.
Other costs might include staging, minor touch-ups, HOA transfer fees, etc.

3. Timing: Sell Now or Wait?

Compare selling today vs holding the home and selling later.
Monthly carrying cost can include mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA, and basic utilities while you still own the home.

4. Rent-Out Scenario (Accidental Landlord)

Compare selling vs renting the home for a period, then selling.
Landlord expenses can include mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA, maintenance, management, and reserves. This scenario assumes you eventually sell at the end of the rent period.

5. Repairs / Upgrades (Optional)

Estimate whether pre-sale improvements might pay off.
These are estimates only. Actual buyer response and appraised value may differ significantly.
