How To Sell A Macon House At No Cost To You

Can You Sell A Macon House At No Cost To You?

There are a lot of expenses that are involved in selling a house in Macon Georgia. Let’s go over some of the costs of selling your house and THEN I’ll tell you how to sell a Macon house at no cost.

Typical cost of selling your Macon house

1. House Repairs

It doesn’t matter if you have been living in your Ga house for a year or ten years, there are always repairs any inspector will find that need doing when you sell your house (Inspectors have to justify their fee, so they ALWAYS find something). The more the repairs, the more cost will be added to your wallet.

2. Upgrades

If you bought the house your selling in the last five years, there is not much cost of selling here. Otherwise, you will need to upgrade certain parts of your house in order to compete with other houses on the market.
Kitchens and Bathrooms are always at the top of the list for updating and give the highest return. “Highest” return does NOT mean you get all your money back, just the highest percent.

3. Marketing

Many listing agents will include most of the marketing expense in their commission. Drone photos and premium listings may be extra. Check with the listing agent before you sign a listing agreement.
If you sell your Georgia house yourself, these expenses fall on you until the house sells. Bandit signs, listings in news papers and online markets will cost some money. Flyers to pass around the neighborhood work well, but they are another cost.

4. Closing Costs

Closing costs include items like; a title search, surveys, and loan payoffs and attorney fees. Closing costs are completely negotiable. Buyer could pay for all the closing cost or the seller could. Right now in our area, buyers and sellers are sharing the closing equally. With that, sellers can expect to pay anywhere from 1-3% of the final sale price in closing costs.

5. Holding Costs

Until the house actually sells, you are still responsible for paying the utilities, water, trash and Mortgage payments. If you have already moved to another house, you are paying DOUBLE. Those are holding costs.

Run the numbers

If your mortgage balance is more than $106,400, your going to be paying extra to sell your house,

The secret To Sell your Macon house without a dime out of your pocket.

Don’t bet that the costs you put into a house will come back when it sells. Costs of upgrades/repairs and the sales price are not dollar in, dollar out, although many people try. $10,000 on a new roof does not mean the house will sell for $10,000 more. So, if you really want to sell you house at no cost to you…
