Transparent calculator methodology
Compare the net proceeds from an as-is sale and a repaired sale
The comparison focuses on the amount left after the mortgage payoff and every modeled selling or repair cost, rather than comparing gross sale prices.
What the estimate includes
- Separate as-is and repaired sale prices
- Repair budget, contingency, staging, and permits
- Commissions and closing costs applied to each price
- Extra carrying time and repair financing or opportunity cost
How the comparison works
Net proceeds equal the scenario sale price minus mortgage payoff, selling costs, carrying costs, and scenario-specific project costs. The break-even repaired sale price shows what the repaired property would need to sell for to match the as-is result.
Important limitation
After-repair value is a user-entered scenario, not an appraisal. Local demand, inspection findings, disclosure rules, permits, taxes, and negotiated concessions can change actual proceeds.
