How Much Will I Keep When I Sell My San Antonio Home?
One buyer offers $400,000 and asks for $12,000 toward closing costs. Another offers $393,000 and asks for $3,000.
The $393,000 offer leaves you with $2,000 more after buyer credits. The gap can widen if the same percentage brokerage fee applies to both offers or if you're paying a lower title premium on the second offer.
What could change before closing?
The decision sheet shows what each offer could pay and how easily that lead could disappear. Here's what we look at before you choose.
The appraisal
If the buyer is financing, the lender orders an appraisal. If it comes in low, you may be asked to lower the price. We look at whether the offer says who covers a gap between the appraisal and the price.
The financing
The type of loan, how far along the approval is, and how much the buyer is putting down all affect whether the loan closes on time. A well-documented approval can be worth more than a few thousand dollars in price.
The option period
During the option period, the buyer can end the contract for any reason. A longer option period keeps your home off the market longer with less certainty. We compare the length and the option fee.
The closing date
A higher offer that closes after your next purchase can cost you more in a second move, temporary housing, or an extra mortgage payment than it adds in price.
