Understanding your net proceeds helps you know exactly what you’ll walk away with after selling your home.
What Are Net Proceeds in Real Estate?
When you sell your home, the final amount you actually get to keep isn’t the same as your sale price. Net proceeds are the true bottom-line figure—the amount you walk away with after subtracting all mortgages, liens, and selling costs. These expenses often include:
Mortgage payoffs Real estate agent commissions Closing costs Any outstanding liens Repairs or concessions to the buyer
Why Net Proceeds Matter for Home Sellers
Your net proceeds determine what you have available for your next purchase, paying off debt, or investing elsewhere. Many homeowners focus on their listing price but forget to factor in these deductions. This can lead to unrealistic expectations—and possibly frustration—when the final check is smaller than imagined.
By calculating your net proceeds early, you gain clarity and can make smarter financial decisions. It’s the number that helps you:
Set realistic selling goals Budget for your next home purchase Plan for moving costs and other expenses
How to Estimate Your Net Proceeds Before You Sell
You don’t need to wait until closing day to know your number. Working with a real estate or mortgage professional, you can run an estimated net sheet based on:
Your expected sale price Estimated payoff amounts for mortgages or liens Anticipated transaction costs
