Run the Numbers Yourself
Two simple calculators: one compares what you might net from listing against a cash offer, and one adds up what an empty house costs to carry. Use your own numbers. When listing comes out ahead, that's a real answer too.
Cash Offer vs. Listing Net Calculator
Listing net = price - repairs - commission - seller closing costs - carrying costs. Cash net = offer (standard seller closing costs paid by buyer). Mortgage and liens are paid from proceeds in both cases and are excluded.
Estimated listing net minus cash net
$12,200
By these numbers, listing may net about $12,200 more. That's worth weighing against the time, showings, and effort.
- Estimated listing net$252,200
- Cash net$240,000
- Commission (at the rate you entered)$15,000
- Carrying costs while listed$4,800
Estimates only, using numbers you enter. Not an appraisal, legal, or tax advice. Commissions are negotiable and vary.
