Mortgage Payoff Amount: $294,886

Listing Agent Fee: $10,703–$12,843

A typical listing agent commission in Nevada is 2.5% to 3% of the home’s selling price. On a $428,100 house, your agent’s fee might range from $10,703–$12,843.

Buyer’s Agent Fee: $10,703–$12,843

In the past, sellers covered both the listing agent and the buyer’s agent fees. However, following a landmark court settlement by the National Association of Realtors, buyers are now expected to negotiate compensation directly with their own agents. If you’re offering to pay this fee to attract buyers, on a $428,100 median-priced Nevada home, you can expect to pay $10,703–$12,843.

Detailed Closing Costs: $6,422

Closing costs in Nevada average about 1.5% of the home’s sale price. On a median-priced home of $428,100, you might pay $6,422. Below are some of the typical types of closing costs you can expect:

• Home Preparations: Curb appeal efforts such as interior house cleaning, landscaping, or home staging.
• Renovations/Repairs: Fixing or updating your property to meet buyer expectations or inspection requests.
• Title Service Fees: Title company work required to verify legal ownership and help manage the transfer of the property.
• Owner’s Title Insurance: A one-time insurance premium paid by the seller to protect the buyer from title issues or ownership disputes.
• Transfer Taxes: Nevada home sellers pay a transfer tax rate of $1.95 for every $500 of the property’s value. (See more below.)
• Recording Fees: Fees paid to the local government to officially record the change in property ownership.
• Buyer Incentives: Credits or concessions you might offer buyers, such as paying the buyer’s agent fees or offering a rate buydown.
• Other Costs: Miscellaneous expenses not covered in other categories, such as attorney fees and HOA transfers. (An attorney is not required to sell a house in Nevada.)
• Moving Expenses: While not technically a closing cost, you might want to include this expense in your budget, which can range from $883 to $7,000.

In Nevada, both the seller and the buyer are responsible together and individually for paying the state’s Real Property Transfer Tax (RPTT). Who actually pays the RPTT is typically negotiated between the buyer and seller. For all counties, the rate is $1.95 for every $500 of the property’s value or any fraction thereof, as long as the value is over $100. In Washoe and Churchill Counties, $0.10 is added to the base rate. In Clark County, an additional $0.60 is added to the base rate.
