How much does it cost to sell a house in Houston?

Selling a house isn’t cheap. On average, the total cost of selling a house is around 10% of the sale price, according to Bankrate. These costs can take a significant portion of your equity.

However, with We Buy Ugly Houses®, we make selling a house easier and more affordable. Find out how you can minimize the cost of selling a house in Houston.

Common home-selling fees we cover

When you sell your house with We Buy Ugly Houses®, we cover all your typical closing costs. This includes things like title insurance, attorney fees, and recording fees. When you work with us, you get a home sale that comes with:

  • No commissions
  • No hidden fees
  • No typical closing costs

Keep in mind that our offers are typically below market value in exchange for speed and convenience.

Common home-selling fees you avoid

Selling your house to We Buy Ugly Houses® means you get to avoid some of the upfront selling costs you would normally deal with during a traditional home sale. You won’t need to deal with:

  • Pre-sale home inspection: Before putting a house on the market, it’s a good idea to get an initial home inspection to identify any issues that could affect your sale. However, when you sell with We Buy Ugly Houses, there’s no need for a pre-sale inspection.
  • Seller concessions: Seller concessions occur when the seller agrees to cover certain buyer costs, such as closing costs or repairs, to make the sale more attractive. In a traditional sale, buyers might request concessions during negotiations, which can further cut into your profits. By selling to us, you avoid these concessions entirely because we handle all the transaction-related costs.
  • Home improvements: Preparing a house for sale often involves making repairs and renovations to increase its marketability. These improvements can be time-consuming, but with We Buy Ugly Houses, no repairs or upgrades are necessary. We buy houses in many different conditions, which allows you to avoid spending time and effort fixing up the property.
  • Home staging: Home staging is a strategy used to make a house more appealing to potential buyers by arranging furniture and décor to highlight its best features. While staging can help attract buyers, it often comes with significant costs for hiring a professional stager and renting furniture. When selling with We Buy Ugly Houses, you don’t need to worry about staging your home.
  • Title insurance: Title insurance protects both the buyer and the lender against potential legal issues related to the ownership of the property. In a traditional sale, the seller may be responsible for paying for the buyer’s title insurance. We Buy Ugly Houses covers this cost.

Common home-selling fees you are responsible for

While We Buy Ugly Houses covers many of the common costs involved in selling a house, there are a few expenses that the seller may still be responsible for. While you won’t have to deal with capital gains tax or transfer tax, you will need to handle:

moving boxes
  • Moving costs: Once you’ve sold your house, you’ll need to cover the cost of moving to your new location. This could include hiring a moving company or renting a truck, as well as any packing supplies you may need.
  • Mortgage payoff: If you still owe money on your mortgage, you’ll need to use a portion of the sale proceeds to pay off the remaining balance. This is true in any home sale, whether you’re selling to an off-market buyer or through a real estate agent.
  • Property tax: As the seller, you’ll need to ensure that your property taxes are up to date before the sale is finalized. In some cases, you may be required to pay a prorated portion of the year’s taxes depending on when the sale occurs.
