Estimated Net Proceeds
These projections assume a 5.5% total sales commission, approximately 6% in closing costs and concessions, and mortgage payoff estimated from public purchase records (30-year fixed, 20% down payment, 5% assumed interest rate).

Equity Breakdown
Your Appreciation Story
Your home has appreciated at 6.5% per year — well above the historical average of 3.5%. This extraordinary growth was driven by recent market conditions that are unlikely to repeat. Understanding this context is key to making smart decisions about your equity. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
