DIRECT ANSWER
The price is not the amount you keep.
The offer price is the beginning of the calculation. A useful decision starts with an itemized closing estimate, prepared for your specific transaction.
Start with an itemized estimate
Ask for the proposed sale price, the current mortgage payoff, agreed brokerage compensation, expected closing charges, any concessions and association balances. Mark every unconfirmed item as an estimate.
Separate proceeds from taxable gain
Your cash at closing and your tax position answer different questions. Obtain the tax analysis from your CPA or attorney rather than treating a brokerage estimate as a tax calculation.
Compare the terms, not just the price
Financing, contingencies, timing and requested repairs can change the usefulness of an offer. Compare proposals on the same written assumptions before deciding.
What is verified
This is a decision framework. It does not report a current price, project delivery, tax rate or transaction result.
What remains uncertain
The terms, costs and conditions of your specific transaction remain subject to current written evidence.
What I would verify next
A written closing estimate, current payoff statements, association balances and the agreed offer terms. Tax treatment belongs with your advisors.
Sources for the decision
Your transaction documents are the controlling evidence. This editorial framework introduces no external market figures. For project facts, consult the sourced development record.
