Cash Offer vs Listing Calculator
What a fast cash sale really nets against listing on the open market.
How this number is built
Doing it by hand
Step 1
Establish fair market value from recent comparable sales, not from an online estimate alone.
Step 2
Get the cash offer in writing with the contingencies and closing date stated.
Step 3
Price the repairs a listing would actually require, using contractor quotes.
Step 4
Add carrying costs for the realistic days on market in your area, not the best case.
Step 5
Compare net proceeds, never headline price against headline offer.
What people ask next
Why are cash offers below market?
The buyer takes on repairs, carrying costs and resale risk, and prices those in. A discount of roughly 15% to 30% of market value is typical.
Are cash offers really guaranteed?
Read the contract. Some contain inspection or assignment clauses that let the buyer renegotiate or walk after you have committed.
