A typical estimate, not a quote
In Presidential Realty’s experience, seller closing costs in Arizona typically run about 1% of the sale price, not counting commissions. This is a planning estimate, not a guarantee or a quote. Costs vary by property and transaction.
That estimate is not the total amount deducted from a sale. Account separately for negotiated brokerage compensation, any mortgage payoff, and repair work or buyer credits you agree to. Your contract and transaction-specific figures determine your actual net proceeds.
Items that can affect seller net proceeds
- Title and escrow charges: the title coverage, escrow services, and allocation agreed to in your contract can affect your costs.
- Prorated property taxes: amounts paid or still due can change the charge or credit on your settlement statement.
- HOA-related charges: applicable association charges and the allocation in your contract can affect proceeds.
- Loan payoff: the amount required to satisfy an existing mortgage reduces the funds available to you.
- Repairs and concessions: work or credits negotiated with the buyer can change your net.
- Brokerage compensation: include the compensation you negotiate in writing; do not assume a standard or required rate.
Compare scenarios before making a commitment
Use the net proceeds calculator to compare a sale price, mortgage payoff, negotiated brokerage compensation, and estimated expenses. Adjust the inputs for your circumstances rather than treating a typical estimate as a promise. Request a home valuation or contact our team for a broker-reviewed planning conversation.
Ask the escrow and title company for an estimated settlement statement as your transaction progresses. For legal questions, consult an Arizona-licensed attorney; for tax questions, consult a CPA or other qualified tax advisor. This guide does not provide legal or tax advice.
