How much do you normally on average net when you sell a home? Looking to upgrade due to second kid on the way and I’m curious how much goes to fees, brokers, agents, etc. My current home is worth 325k per Zillow and my mortgage balance is 165k, so about 160k of equity. So if I sold it for what it’s worth at 325k, how much could I expect to net for my next home’s down payment? I see different answers online so anyone with experience would be great. Thanks.

Significant other and I crossed the combined $1M net worth mark this quarter! Mostly in RE and 401k so we will not be FIRE-ing but still excited to be in the 7fig club.

Sorry, need someplace to celebrate and you guys are awesome.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:

- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

Hi all! I’m new! I started the year off planning to save for a home for myself, then rates skyrocketed. So we’re holding off.

Would like some thoughts on a 2-br NYC condo my husband and I are considering. $250K HHI (no kids). No loans or debts, both have newish cars fully paid off.

Offer would be for $725K, with 10 percent down. 30yr mortgage @5%. We would need to include closing costs in the mortgage, to keep about $10k liquid. Monthly costs will be about $5k.
