Home Value Is Not Walkaway
Market value and seller proceeds are different.
What it means
A home can have a strong market value and still produce a walkaway number that feels different than expected. The difference is usually not one item. It is a file of assumptions.
Why sellers miss it
Price is visible. Net is private, conditional, and full of assumptions. That is why the bottom-line conversation usually needs its own lane.
What can change it
- mortgage payoff
- seller credits
- repairs
- closing costs
- transfer costs
- compensation
- timing
- title issues
- tax considerations
Seller question
What line items could make my walkaway different from the value I have in mind?
Quiet next step
This is the kind of question a private seller-net conversation is designed to organize.
