It is the sale price minus the mortgage payoff, real estate commissions, title insurance, property tax prorations, HOA fees, seller concessions, and other closing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formula is straightforward:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Net Proceeds = Sale Price &#8211; Mortgage Payoff &#8211; Commissions &#8211; Closing Costs &#8211; Concessions &#8211; Liens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example: sell for $400,000, owe $220,000 on the mortgage, pay $22,000 in commissions and $7,000 in other costs, and you walk away with roughly $151,000. That gap surprises many sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas sellers typically pay <strong>6% to 10% of the sale price<\/strong> in total selling costs, not counting the mortgage payoff. Arkansas does not impose a state real estate transfer tax directly on most residential sellers beyond the state&#8217;s real property transfer tax system, but commission, title insurance, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/personal-finance\/mortgages\/article\/recording-fees-191701254.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recording fees<\/a>, and negotiated concessions can still add up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains every cost Arkansas sellers pay, shows worked examples at two price points, and helps you understand what your estimate means for your next financial decision.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"card my-5 shadow-lg\">\n  <div class=\"card-body py-md-4\">\n    <div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center

Always estimate based on your actual sale price rather than a flat dollar assumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-highest-offer-is-not-always-the-best-offer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Highest Offer Is Not Always the Best Offer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A $500,000 offer with $15,000 in seller concessions may produce less than a $490,000 offer with no concessions. Compare offers based on estimated net proceeds, not just the headline price. A seller net sheet converts each offer into a bottom-line number so you can compare them directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-arkansas-seller-closing-costs-breakdown\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arkansas Seller Closing Costs Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas sellers pay several categories of costs. Some are common in every state. Others are especially important in Arkansas because of local transfer taxes, title insurance practices, and county-level property tax administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-real-estate-commission\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Estate Commission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commission is usually the largest seller cost after the mortgage payoff. Commissions are negotiable in Arkansas. Most transactions today fall between 5% and 6% of the sale price, split between the listing agent and the buyer&#8217;s agent under terms negotiated in the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Sale Price<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5% Commission<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5.5% Commission<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>6% Commission<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$300,000<\/td><td>$15,000<\/td><td>$16,500<\/td><td>$18,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$400,000<\/td><td>$20,000<\/td><td>$22,000<\/td><td>$24,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$500,000<\/td><td>$25,000<\/td><td>$27,500<\/td><td>$30,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$750,000<\/td><td>$37,500<\/td><td>$41,250<\/td><td>$45,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lower <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/realtor-fees-in-arkansas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commission rate<\/a> is not always better. Weak marketing or poor negotiation from a discounted agent can cost more than the commission savings. Compare both price and service level when choosing a listing agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-owner-s-title-insurance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Owner&#8217;s Title Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Arkansas, sellers commonly pay for the owner&#8217;s title insurance policy, although responsibility can be negotiated between the parties. This protects the buyer from covered title problems such as ownership disputes, recording errors, or undisclosed liens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Title insurance premiums vary by title company and policy amount. Rates are generally based on the property&#8217;s sale price and coverage amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Sale Price<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Estimated Owner&#8217;s Title Premium<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$300,000<\/td><td>$1,350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$400,000<\/td><td>$1,750<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$500,000<\/td><td>$2,150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$750,000<\/td><td>$3,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$1,000,000<\/td><td>$3,900<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Source:<\/em><\/strong><em> Estimates based on common Arkansas title insurance pricing schedules used by regional <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/better.com\/content\/what-is-a-title-company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>title companies<\/em><\/a><em>. Actual premiums vary by insurer and transaction details.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-escrow-and-settlement-fees\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Escrow and Settlement Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closing agents and title companies charge fees for managing the settlement process, including document preparation, recording coordination, fund disbursement, and communication among all parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common planning range is $300 to $1,000, though fees vary by provider and transaction complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-property-tax-proration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Property Tax Proration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas property taxes are generally paid in arrears, meaning sellers owe taxes for the portion of the year they owned the property before closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example: annual taxes of $2,800 and closing at the end of June means roughly $1,400 in tax proration for the six months you owned the home this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Property taxes vary by county and municipality throughout Arkansas. Use your most recent tax bill to estimate this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-hoa-resale-certificate-and-transfer-fees\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOA Resale Certificate and Transfer Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the property is located in a homeowners association, sellers often pay fees associated with transferring ownership and providing required community documents to buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common HOA costs include resale certificates ($100 to $400), transfer fees ($50 to $300), unpaid dues, and special assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Request HOA documentation and payoff information early to avoid closing delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-real-property-transfer-tax\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Property Transfer Tax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas imposes a <strong>Real Property Transfer Tax<\/strong> on deeds conveying real property above certain thresholds. The tax is typically calculated based on the property&#8217;s sale price and is often split between buyer and seller or allocated according to local custom and contract negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your closing estimate includes any applicable transfer tax obligations, as these charges can affect your final proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-survey-costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Survey Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Arkansas transactions require a property survey, particularly when boundary lines, acreage, easements, or lender requirements are involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a new survey is required, expect to pay several hundred dollars for a standard residential property and more for larger tracts of land or rural acreage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-seller-concessions-and-repair-credits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seller Concessions and Repair Credits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedommortgage.com\/learn\/homebuying\/what-is-home-inspection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inspections<\/a>, buyers may ask for repair credits, closing cost assistance, appliance replacements, or other concessions. Each dollar you agree to in concessions reduces your net proceeds by exactly that amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evaluate concession requests against the alternative of losing the deal. In some cases, it is better to accept a repair credit than restart with a new buyer. In other cases, the request is unreasonable and worth pushing back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-other-liens-and-payoffs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Liens and Payoffs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any valid lien against the property must generally be resolved before ownership can transfer. This includes home equity loans, HELOC balances, IRS tax liens, judgment liens, contractor liens, and unpaid HOA balances. A title search will identify these before closing, but finding them late can reduce proceeds or delay the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-capital-gains-taxes-in-arkansas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capital Gains Taxes in Arkansas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas taxes capital gains as part of state income tax, although a portion of long-term capital gains may qualify for favorable state tax treatment. Federal capital gains tax may also apply when selling a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IRS home sale exclusion allows many homeowners to avoid federal capital gains tax on the profit from a primary residence sale:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single filers may exclude up to $250,000 of gain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/m\/mfj.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Married couples filing jointly<\/a> may exclude up to $500,000 of gain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To qualify, you generally must have owned and used the home as your main residence for at least two of the five years before the sale, and meet other IRS requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example: a married couple bought a home for $300,000, made $50,000 in qualifying improvements, and sold for $750,000. Their gain before selling costs is $400,000. With the $500,000 exclusion, they may owe no federal capital gains tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules change if the property was a rental, vacation home, or investment property. Depreciation recapture and other federal rules may also apply. Arkansas state tax consequences may also apply. Talk to a CPA or tax professional before relying on any tax estimate for your specific situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-your-net-proceeds-estimate-tells-you\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Your Net Proceeds Estimate Tells You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have an estimate, use it to answer these questions before listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do I have enough for a down payment on the next home? If you need a certain amount to buy your next property, your estimate shows whether this sale gets you there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can I afford to sell? If the sale price minus all costs is less than the mortgage payoff, you may be in a short sale situation and will need lender approval.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is a cash buyer worth considering? A <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/cash-home-buyers-arkansas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cash buyer<\/a> offers less than market value but eliminates commission and speeds closing. Sometimes the net is closer than you expect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which offer is actually better? Comparing two offers by their headline prices misses the point. Convert each offer into an estimated net and compare those numbers instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should I make repairs before listing? If a $10,000 repair is likely to generate $15,000 in higher offers or avoid a $12,000 concession, it is worth it. If not, sell as-is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When should I sell? Carrying costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities) add up every month you wait. If you are paying $2,500 a month in costs on a vacant home, a three-month delay costs $7,500 in net proceeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After estimating your proceeds, you can make better decisions about pricing, timing, repairs, and whether selling now makes financial sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-increase-your-net-proceeds\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Increase Your Net Proceeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price the home correctly from the start. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.har.com\/blog_145045_pricing-mistakes-that-could-cost-you-the-sale-of-your-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overpriced homes<\/a> sit on the market longer, attract fewer serious buyers, and usually sell for less than a correctly priced home would have. A well-priced home generates stronger early demand and better negotiating leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make strategic repairs, not expensive renovations. Fresh paint, deep cleaning, landscaping, and minor repairs often produce better returns than costly remodels completed solely for resale. In Arkansas, addressing roofing, moisture issues, HVAC systems, and curb appeal often delivers strong returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negotiate commission carefully. Because commission is usually the largest seller cost after the mortgage payoff, even a 0.5% reduction on a $500,000 home saves $2,500. Compare agents on both commission rate and marketing quality. A lower rate is not always a better deal if it leads to weaker offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limit concessions when possible. Concessions reduce proceeds dollar-for-dollar. Before agreeing to buyer credits, compare the net value of accepting the concession versus risking the deal. Strong pricing and presentation reduce the need for concessions in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resolve title and lien issues early. Unreleased liens, unpaid assessments, probate complications, boundary disputes, or title defects discovered during closing can delay the transaction or force last-minute concessions. Identify and resolve these before listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete a pre-listing inspection. Knowing what issues exist before buyers do gives you time to fix them, price around them, or disclose them confidently. Sellers who are caught off guard by inspection findings under contract pressure often make more expensive concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-seller-net-sheet-vs-seller-net-proceeds-calculator\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seller Net Sheet vs. Seller Net Proceeds Calculator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A seller net proceeds calculator uses estimated numbers. It is useful before listing to understand roughly what you might walk away with under different scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A seller net sheet is more precise. It uses actual transaction numbers: the contract price, official mortgage payoff, title company fees, exact tax prorations, and negotiated concessions. Most real estate agents and title companies prepare one for each offer you receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the calculator for early planning. Once offers arrive, request a seller net sheet for each one. The net sheet shows you the real bottom-line difference between a high offer with large concessions and a slightly lower offer with none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-arkansas-laws-that-affect-seller-proceeds\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arkansas Laws That Affect Seller Proceeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-seller-property-disclosure-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seller Property Disclosure Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas does not have a statewide law requiring a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/ibuyer.com\/blog\/seller-disclosure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seller disclosure<\/a> form for all residential transactions. However, sellers must avoid fraud, misrepresentation, and concealment of known material defects.Many Arkansas real estate transactions use disclosure forms provided by local REALTOR\u00ae associations or brokers. Providing accurate information helps reduce disputes and delays during the sale process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When in doubt, disclose it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-title-insurance-and-closing-practices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Title Insurance and Closing Practices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Title insurance is commonly used in Arkansas real estate transactions to protect against ownership disputes, liens, recording errors, and other title defects. Closing services may be handled by title companies, attorneys, or escrow agents depending on the transaction.Who pays for title insurance is negotiable and may vary based on local custom and contract terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-hoa-disclosure-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOA Disclosure Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the property is located within a homeowners association, sellers may need to provide information regarding dues, assessments, restrictions, architectural guidelines, and pending obligations.Unpaid HOA fees or missing association documents can delay closing and reduce net proceeds.

The tax is generally calculated based on the property&#8217;s sale price and is typically shared between the buyer and seller unless otherwise negotiated in the purchase agreement.Because transfer taxes directly reduce seller proceeds, they should be included when estimating closing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-want-to-know-your-net-proceeds-without-listing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to Know Your Net Proceeds Without Listing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iBuyer.com connects Arkansas homeowners with cash buyers who close without commissions or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chase.com\/personal\/mortgage\/education\/finding-a-home\/what-is-an-open-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open houses<\/a>.

The result is your estimated net proceeds.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298702434\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What percentage do sellers pay in closing costs in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Arkansas sellers typically pay 6% to 10% of the sale price when commissions and all closing costs are included. On a $300,000 home, that means approximately $18,000 to $30,000 in total selling costs before the mortgage payoff. The exact amount depends on commission rates, transfer taxes, title fees, HOA expenses, and negotiated concessions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298710946\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Who pays title insurance in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Payment for title insurance is negotiable and varies by local custom and market conditions. In many Arkansas transactions, sellers commonly pay for the owner&#8217;s title insurance policy, while buyers pay for lender-related title coverage.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298720756\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Does Arkansas have a real estate transfer tax?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Arkansas imposes a Real Property Transfer Tax on most real estate sales. The tax is generally based on the property&#8217;s consideration amount and is often split between the buyer and seller unless otherwise negotiated.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298730899\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Do sellers pay property taxes at closing in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Property taxes are prorated at closing based on how much of the year the seller owned the property. The amount depends on local tax rates and the closing date.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298744696\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the average Realtor commission in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Real estate commissions are negotiable. Most Arkansas sellers budget 4.5% to 6% of the sale price for total commission costs. The actual amount depends on the listing agreement, buyer-agent compensation, brokerage services, and market conditions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298775140\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can seller concessions reduce my net proceeds?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Seller concessions reduce proceeds dollar-for-dollar. If you agree to a $5,000 buyer closing cost credit, your net proceeds drop by $5,000. This is why sellers should compare offers based on estimated net proceeds rather than just the headline purchase price.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298781905\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How much is Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Arkansas charges a state transfer tax based on the sale price of the property. The exact amount depends on the final purchase price and applicable county recording requirements. Transfer taxes should be included when estimating your seller proceeds.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298790508\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the difference between a seller net sheet and a seller net proceeds calculator?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A calculator uses estimated numbers to project proceeds before or during the listing process. A seller net sheet uses actual transaction figures, such as the contract price, official mortgage payoff, and exact title fees and transfer taxes, making it more accurate when comparing offers. Use the calculator for planning. Use the net sheet when reviewing real offers.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298802561\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Do I pay capital gains tax when selling my home in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Arkansas taxes capital gains as part of state income tax, although certain long-term gains may qualify for favorable treatment. Federal capital gains tax may also apply, but many homeowners qualify for the IRS exclusion of up to $250,000 for single filers and $500,000 for married couples filing jointly if they meet ownership and occupancy requirements.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298809430\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>When do sellers receive their proceeds after closing in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most Arkansas sellers receive proceeds by wire transfer or certified funds on the day of closing or within one business day after all closing documents are signed, funds are received, and recording requirements have been completed.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782298816915\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the biggest seller expense when selling a house in Arkansas?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For most sellers, the largest deduction from proceeds is the mortgage payoff balance, followed by real estate commissions. Other major costs include transfer taxes, title-related expenses, property tax prorations, and seller concessions. Together, these typically account for the 6% to 10% selling cost range many Arkansas sellers experience.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you sell your Arkansas home, the amount you receive at closing is not the sale price.
