关键要点 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- 1定价基于 CMA 与 Comps — 过高 DOM 长，过低 leave money on table
- 2Staging + curb appeal + disclosure 合规影响 buyer 信心与谈判力
- 3评估 Offer：价格、financing strength、contingencies、closing date、concessions
- 4Seller closing：payoff、repairs、net proceeds 计算
- 5Primary residence Section 121 exclusion：ownership + use tests — 非 primary 另计
一句话理解：
准备房子 → 定价挂牌 → 看房接 offer → 谈判 → 买家验房评估 → 交割拿净收益。
1卖房从头到尾要经过哪些步骤？
典型时间线（因 market 而异）：
- Prep：Repair、clean、stage（2–6 周 common）
- Price & list：CMA、MLS listing、photos
- Marketing & showings：Open house、private tours
- Offers & negotiation：Accept/counter
- Under contract：Inspection、appraisal、buyer loan approval
- Closing prep：Repairs、title、payoff
- Close & move：Sign deed、receive net proceeds
卖方市场 vs 买方市场 dramatically 影响 DOM、pricing power 与 concession 需求。
一句话理解：
看附近类似房子最近卖多少钱（Comps），再根据自己房子的好坏微调 — 这就是 CMA。
2怎么定挂牌价才合理？
CMA 看什么
- Sold comps：Same neighborhood、similar beds/baths/sqft、recent（often 3–6 months，hot market 更短）
- Adjustments：Your upgrades vs comp condition、lot size、garage、pool
- Active competition：Buyers compare your list to others on market
- Expired/withdrawn：Often signals overpricing
定价策略
- At market：Align with adjusted comps — balanced DOM
- Slightly below：Generate multiple offers in hot market
- Above market：Test ceiling — risk long DOM and stale listing stigma
💡 DOM（Days on Market） 过长常迫使降价，且 buyer 怀疑 "what's wrong?"
Online estimates（Zestimate 等）是 starting point，非 substitute for agent CMA 或 appraisal。
一句话理解：
修明显问题、打扫干净、减少个人物品、让空间看起来大又亮 — 第一印象决定 showings 质量。
3卖前要把房子弄成什么样？
Prep Checklist
- Repairs：Fix leaks、dripping faucets、broken windows、GFCI — 避免 inspection 砍价
- Deep clean：Carpet、windows、kitchen grease、bath grout
- Declutter & depersonalize：Remove excess furniture、family photos — buyer envision themselves
- Staging：Professional or DIY — neutral decor、highlight best features
- Curb appeal：Landscaping、fresh paint front door、clean walkway
- Pre-listing inspection（optional）：Fix issues upfront on your terms
Disclosure
各州要求 seller disclose known material defects（lead paint pre-1978、flood zone、prior repairs 等）。Honest disclosure 减少 post-close lawsuit risk。
一句话理解：
选熟悉你片区、营销强、沟通及时的 agent；佣金通常可谈，但要搞清服务包含什么。
4怎么选 listing agent？佣金能谈吗？
Interview Questions
- Recent comps sold in my area — list/sale ratio、DOM？
- Marketing plan：Photography、MLS、social、open house？
- Communication style and availability？
- Team support for showings and paperwork？
- Commission structure — what services included？
Commission
Traditional total commission often discussed as percentage of sale price — negotiable。Low commission may reduce buyer agent incentive in some markets（verify local norms）。Flat-fee/discount brokers exist — understand service trade-offs。
FSBO（For Sale By Owner）
Save commission but self-handle pricing、marketing、legal forms、negotiation、buyer agent commission offer。Many FSBO sellers still pay buyer side commission。Success rate and net proceeds vary — evaluate time vs savings。
一句话理解：
不只看价格 — 还要看买家贷款靠不靠谱、contingency 多不多、什么时候能 close。
5收到 offer 看什么？怎么还价？
Offer 评估维度
- Price & earnest money：EM 大小反映 commitment
- Financing：Cash、large down、strong pre-approval vs weak financing
- Contingencies：Inspection、appraisal、financing、home sale — fewer = cleaner
- Closing date：Match your move timeline
- Seller concessions：Buyer 要求你 pay closing costs — reduces net
- Escalation / appraisal gap clause：Auto-increase up to cap
谈判场景
- Counter price/terms：Common on price、closing date、repair responsibility
- Multiple offers：Best-and-final、deadline for highest offers
- Post-inspection：Buyer repair request — agree、credit、refuse（buyer may exit if contingency remains）
- Low appraisal：Reduce price、buyer brings cash、split difference、or deal falls through
一句话理解：
签 deed 把产权给买家、还清贷款、付佣金和费用 — 剩下的就是到你账上的钱（Net Proceeds）。
6交割当天卖家要做什么？净收益怎么算？
Seller Closing Checklist
- Complete agreed repairs before walk-through
- Provide payoff statement to escrow — good-through date
- Sign deed、closing affidavit、1099-S related forms
- Transfer keys、codes、garage remotes、manuals
- Vacate by contract possession date
Net Proceeds 构成
Sale price
Minus：
- Existing mortgage payoff（含 per diem interest）
- Listing + buyer agent commission
- Title/escrow fees（allocation per local custom）
- Transfer taxes（部分州/市）
- Seller concessions / repair credits
- HOA transfer fees、prorated taxes
= Net proceeds wired or check at closing
Review Closing Disclosure / ALTA Settlement Statement seller column before signing。
一句话理解：
自住满一定年限可能免一部分增值 tax — IRS 有 ownership 和 use 两个测试；投资房规则不同。
7卖房要交多少税？自住有豁免吗？
Section 121 概要（Primary Residence）
IRS 规定的一般框架（verify current Pub 523）：
- Ownership test：Owned property 2 of last 5 years before sale
- Use test：Used as main home 2 of last 5 years before sale
- Exclusion amount：IRC 规定的上限 — single filers 与 married filing jointly 不同（IRS 公布具体 dollar amounts，可能随 inflation adjust）
- Gain calculation：Sale price − adjusted basis（purchase price + improvements − depreciation if any）− selling costs
Investment / rental property
- Generally no Section 121 on non-primary portion
- Depreciation recapture may apply on rental use periods
- 1031 exchange may defer tax if replacing investment property（strict rules）
⚠️ Partial rental use、home office depreciation、multiple sales within 2 years — complicate exclusion。Consult CPA before listing。
