For many Wyomingites, a home represents their most valuable asset, making the decision to sell a significant one. Whether you’re moving out of state, relocating to the next town over, or downsizing, your goal is a smooth sale with the best possible return.

As you prepare to sell, it’s important to be aware of the cost of selling a house in Wyoming. This article breaks down the typical expenses you may face and offers expert advice to help you better understand what to expect from the selling process.

Housing trends in Wyoming

Similar to many areas across the nation, the Wyoming housing market is facing high interest rates and increased home prices.

“We continue to see a lack of affordable homes on the market, throughout the state. First-time home buyers have limited options and find themselves in multiple offer situations. On the higher end of the pricing spectrum, homes are sitting on the market for months unless they are competitively priced,” says April Poley, a top Wyoming real estate agent with 16 years of experience.

Here’s a summary of the current real estate conditions in Wyoming:

	As of April 2025
Days on market	52 days
Median home sale price	$346,014
List price vs. sale price	97.1%
Population growth year over year	+0.43%

Sources: Estimates gathered from various Wyoming housing market data sources, World Population Review

One metric that Wyoming homeowners should consider is the days on market (DOM), which indicates the average time from listing a home to securing a signed purchase agreement. In Wyoming, the average DOM is 52 days.

“Rural areas have had longer DOM while larger communities such as Casper have an average DOM of 65 and median DOM of 49. This is due to increased business activity in the larger communities,” says Laurel Lunstrum, a leading Wyoming agent with 49 years of experience.

Start with a home value estimate

A great starting point for estimating the cost of selling your house in Wyoming is getting a home value estimate. Given how fast values and markets change, checking your home’s worth now could be a good idea.

You can quickly request an online value estimate using HomeLight’s Home Value Estimator. This free automated valuation model (AVM) tool uses recent sales data, local market trends, and your home’s latest selling price to provide a preliminary value range in under two minutes. Just enter your address to get started.

How much does it cost to sell a house in Wyoming?

Based on our research, the cost of selling a house in Wyoming typically ranges from 6% to 10% of your selling price.

For instance, if you sell your house for $346,014 — the median home price in Wyoming — your selling costs could be approximately $20,761 to $34,601.

The exact amount you’ll pay will largely depend on your choices regarding home preparations, agent commissions, and any concessions you may offer to the buyer. Let’s take a closer look at what costs you should consider when selling a house in Wyoming.

What are common expenses for sellers in Wyoming?

The cost of selling a house in Wyoming can differ significantly based on the seller’s circumstances within the state’s evolving market.

“Post-Covid there was a surge of out-of-state buyers coming into communities throughout Wyoming looking for a quiet quality of life, and prices inflated at that time. Since then it has stabilized,” says Lunstrum.

Several factors can affect the cost of preparing your home for sale, including its size, age, and condition. Below are estimated prices to guide you in your planning.

Prepping your house for sale

Preparing your Wyoming home for sale generally costs between 1.5% and 2.7% of your home’s final sale price. Based on the state’s $346,014 median price, this could range from $5,190 to $9,342.

Let’s break down these expenses:

Pre-sale repairs: $4,500-$5,400, depending on the year your home was built and its maintenance history.
Staging the home: $1,500-$4,000 (recommended by Wyoming agents for higher proceeds).
Professional cleaning services: $118-$237, depending on your home’s size.
Interior painting: $966-$3,086.
Landscaping: $1,248-$6,281.
Pre-listing inspection: $250-$500, if desired.

Before taking on any major projects, such as a kitchen remodel or roof replacement, consult with your agent. A knowledgeable Wyoming real estate agent can advise you on what repairs you should complete and which ones you can skip.

“Complete any repairs that may become an appraisal requirement ahead of time such as peeling paint on the exterior of the home,” advises Lunstrum. “Having the property in good repair will present the property in a positive light and give the seller a higher price.”

Poley has similar advice: “Putting your best foot forward right out of the gate creates a positive impression of ownership pride for your potential buyers and will help you get top dollar for your property.”

Realtor fees in Wyoming

Agent commissions are one of the heftiest costs in a real estate transaction. In Wyoming, Realtor fees typically range from 2.5% to 6%, depending on whether you pay the buyer’s agent commissions, which is no longer a given due to a landmark court ruling that altered commission rules across the nation.

Based on the median home price of $346,014 in Wyoming, you can expect to pay between $8,650 (2.5%) and $20,761 (6%) in real estate agent commissions.

While agent commissions may seem high, a skilled professional can make a huge impact in the outcome of your sale. HomeLight transaction data indicates that the top 5% of agents nationwide sell homes for as much as 10% more than the average agent.

Later, we’ll show how commissions can affect your total selling costs in our at-a-glance analysis chart.

Seller concessions

Seller concessions can raise the total cost of selling a house in Wyoming. Beyond the direct costs of preparing your home and Realtor fees, there may also be indirect costs, including seller concessions and buyer incentives.

A seller concession happens when you, as the seller, use a portion of your home’s sale proceeds to cover some or all of the buyer’s closing costs. The exact amount of these costs will depend on your specific market conditions and selling situation.

“The most common concessions paid by a seller are buyer’s agent fees followed by a request to cover some or all of a buyer’s closing costs,” Poley says.

While sellers are not obligated to make concessions, doing so can attract more buyers, help your home stand out, or facilitate closing the sale. Here’s a quick overview of some seller concession examples that could increase the cost of selling a house in Wyoming:

Home inspection fees: $296-$424, depending on your home’s square footage.
Buyer’s home warranty: $350-$900 (more comprehensive plans can cost $1,200-$1,400).
Repair credit: Seller credits vary and can reduce your net proceeds.

Closing costs and additional fees

Your closing costs and additional fees (excluding agent commissions) will likely range from 2% to 4% of your home’s selling price. Using Wyoming’s median home price of $346,014, this would amount to between $6,920 and $13,841.

So, what closing costs do sellers incur in Wyoming? Here’s what you might find on your final settlement statement:

Escrow fee
Title insurance premiums
Title search fees
Tax liens or other judgments
Homeowner’s association dues
Reconveyance fee and recording fees
Prorated property taxes
Mortgage loan payoff amount (U.S. average: approximately $250,000)

How can I reduce my seller costs in Wyoming?

There are several ways to lower the cost of selling your house in Wyoming, and some prove more effective than others. Here’s how you can minimize your seller expenses:

Handle repairs yourself when possible
Negotiate a lower commission with your real estate agent
Use a discount-commission agent or brokerage
List your home for sale by owner (FSBO)
Avoid offering seller concessions or buyer incentives
If you agree to cover closing costs or provide a repair credit, consider raising your Wyoming home’s purchase price
Resist the temptation to over-improve or make unnecessary repairs when selling
Sell your house off-market
Time your home sale using HomeLight’s Best Time to Sell Calculator
Work with a top-performing Wyoming agent with a proven sale-to-list ratio

Keep in mind that while a discount agent or broker may offer lower-cost services, they might lack the experience to close the sale successfully, potentially costing you money in the end.

“A high quality agent is worth the cost in the end. They will guide the seller for proper pricing, marketing the property to maximize exposure in the market, give advice on required repairs, if any, assist in negotiating a fair sale, and follow the transaction through to a successful closing,” Lunstrum says.
