We Buy Houses In Huntsville, AL For Cash

Using our 3-step process and selling your house to us, you can skip all the extra hassle the traditional route brings you. To answer the question of how you benefit from selling your house fast versus selling it through a realtor, we will break down the chart above and elaborate on the details.

Sales Costs, Realtor Fees, and Other Costs Associated

While both of these factors don't increase the sales time of your house, it costs you money to sell your house. In total, these costs may amount to 10%+ of the home's final sales price, and the highest portion of the cost originates from the realtor's commission of selling the house, which ranges from 5-6%.  An agent that takes care of everything, "full service," will ask for 6%, whereas competitive agents that may drop specific deliverables will typically charge 5% to 5.5%. 

Here is an overview of the possible costs that make up the 10%+ of selling your house in Hunstville:

• Staging Costs: According to Manta, most homeowners paid an average of $538 for home staging and upwards of  $932 in 2022. The national average is $750- $2,850.
• Landscaping: The average landscaping cost for Hunstville, AL, is $1,490, while the national average is $3,200. Of course, the costs will range based on what services are needed.
• Home Repairs: The cost range of home repairs can range dramatically. To paint the picture, the average cost for bathroom remodels in Huntsville, Alabama, is $6,133 to $15,399.
• Real Estate Agent Commissions: These costs range from 5% to 6% in Huntsville, AL.
• Seller Concessions: The seller may negotiate for a lower price. This usually only accounts for a few thousand dollars, however.
• Closing Costs: This can be up to 3% of the sales costs. These costs include the closing fee, property and transfer taxes, attorney fees, recording fees, and any other costs related to paying the rest of your mortgage.
• Moving Costs: This can vary on the size of your home; for example, a house with 2 bedrooms will cost around $1,866 in Huntsville, Alabama.

Let's say in the end, it costs 10% of the sales price to sell your house in Hunstville, Alabama. If your home sold for $250,000, then that would cost you $25,000. As you can see, these prices can greatly increase depending on the age, condition of the house, and requirements of the seller (e.g. moving across the country). If your house is not market-ready and needs a new roof & bathroom, then that can easily cost 10% of the sales price.
