Santa Clarita Valley · your net, three ways

What will you net when you sell?

See it side by side

Enter your expected sale price. This shows your estimated net proceeds three ways: the fixed $17,000 Fair Fixed Fee, a 2.5% listing commission, and a typical cash-buyer or iBuyer offer at 85% to 90% of value plus a service fee. Escrow, title, transfer, and prep are pre-filled with Santa Clarita estimates you can adjust. These are estimates, not a quote.

Adjust any field to update the numbers. The buyer's-agent fee is negotiable and is your choice since 2024. Leave it at 0 to model offering nothing.

Reading the three columns

The Fair Fixed Fee and the 2.5% column are the same sale, run the same way, with only the listing fee changing. The cash column is a different animal: no agents, often as-is with no prep, and usually a fast close, but the offer sits below market and carries a service fee. That is the honest trade, speed and certainty for money. To understand when a cash sale actually makes sense, read cash offer vs listing. To get a real starting value before you model anything, use the home-worth estimator.

Common questions about the cost to sell

How much does it cost to sell a house in Santa Clarita?
The largest line is the listing representation. A percentage agent charges about 2.5% to 3%, while Connor lists for a fixed $17,000. On top of that come the buyer's-agent fee if you offer one, escrow and title (roughly 0.6% combined), the LA County transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 (0.11%), and prep. This calculator adds them up for your price and shows your net.
Is a fixed $17,000 cheaper than a 2.5% or 3% commission?
On any Santa Clarita home selling above about $567,000, the fixed $17,000 is less than a 3% listing fee, and less than 2.5% above about $680,000. The fee is capped, so the higher your price, the more you keep versus a percentage. The calculator shows the exact gap for your number.
How much less do cash buyers and iBuyers pay?
Documented iBuyer and cash-buyer offers generally land around 85% to 90% of market value, and iBuyers add a service fee of about 5% (Opendoor's published fee is around 5%). You trade money for speed and certainty. This calculator lets you set the offer level and the service fee to see the net a cash sale would leave you.
What closing costs does a seller pay in Santa Clarita?
Typical seller-side costs are the escrow fee, the owner's title policy, the LA County documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000, prorated property tax and HOA dues, a natural hazard disclosure report, and recording. Santa Clarita has no separate city transfer tax. Exact amounts vary by transaction, so treat the defaults here as estimates you can adjust.
Is this calculator a quote?
No. It is a planning estimate, not a quote, appraisal, or tax advice. Escrow, title, and transfer costs vary by company and transaction, and a real cash offer will differ from the model. Connor gives you the exact numbers for your specific home.
