if you want to know your net proceeds, best to run the numbers yourself. it's not that hard


Zillow says I'll spend 6k getting mine ready to sell.

No way. The only thing I'd do to get ready to sell would be to rent a storage unit so that all rooms appear 50% empty. My house is maintained in perfect shape with new bathrooms/kitchen/floors/paint/HVAC/roof. I wouldn't need to spend 6k.

It's my original mortgage, not the one I refinanced to in 2020. Mine is off by like 200k. I barely have a mortgage on my house (owe 150k).

Looked up my house, the numbers are all wrong and very far off.

Helpful to know if you are trying to avoid the capital gains tax if your property has increased $250k/$500k Single/married.
