How much does it cost to sell a house in West Miami?

Apart from the mortgage payoff, a West Miami seller pays the brokerage commission, the Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and settlement charges, prorated property taxes, any association estoppel fee and unpaid dues, and whatever repairs or credits are agreed after inspection. Everything is deducted at closing; nothing is paid up front. We prepare a written net proceeds estimate for your address before you decide.

How much are documentary stamps on a home sale in Miami-Dade County?

In Miami-Dade County the documentary stamp tax on a deed is 60 cents per $100 of the sale price for a single family home, with an additional 45-cent surtax per $100 on other property types. On the median West Miami single family home sale of $885,000, the 60-cent rate is about $5,310. The seller customarily pays it.

Who pays for title insurance in Miami-Dade County, the buyer or the seller?

By local custom the buyer chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy in Miami-Dade County, as in Miami-Dade and Broward generally. In most other Florida counties the seller pays. It is a custom, not a law, so the contract controls.

Do I pay capital gains tax when I sell my home in Florida?

Florida has no state income tax, so any tax on the gain is federal. If the home was your main residence for two of the last five years you can usually exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly. Second homes and rentals do not qualify. This is general information, not tax advice; confirm it with a CPA.

Do I have to make repairs before I sell?

No. You can sell as is, and the standard Florida as is contract gives the buyer an inspection period rather than a repair obligation. Repairs become a negotiation after the inspection, usually settled with a credit. If you would rather avoid showings and inspections altogether, ask us for the guaranteed cash offer and compare it with the listing estimate.

The Costs of Selling a House in West Miami, in Order of Size

For most West Miami sellers the list runs: the mortgage payoff, the brokerage commission, the Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and settlement charges, property taxes for the part of the year you owned the home, association fees and estoppel charges where there is an association, and whatever you agree with the buyer after inspection. None of them is paid up front. They are deducted from the sale price on the closing statement, and what is left is wired to you.

Impuesto de sellos documentales en Miami-Dade County

Florida charges a documentary stamp tax on every deed, customarily paid by the seller. In Miami-Dade County the rate is 60 cents per $100 of the sale price for a single family home; other property types pay an additional county surtax of 45 cents per $100. On the median West Miami single family home sale of $885,000, the 60-cent rate comes to about $5,310. The rest of Florida pays 70 cents per $100, so a Miami-Dade single family seller pays slightly less than a seller across the county line.

Seguro de título y cargos de cierre en Miami-Dade County

Who pays for the owner's title insurance policy is a matter of local custom, and it is written into the contract. In Miami-Dade County the buyer customarily chooses the title company and pays for the owner's policy, which is the opposite of most of Florida and saves a West Miami seller a meaningful line on the closing statement. The seller still pays a settlement fee, the title search where the contract assigns it, a municipal lien search, and the cost of clearing anything it turns up, such as an open permit or an unpaid utility balance. All of it is negotiable, so read the contract rather than relying on custom.

Impuestos a la propiedad, tarifas de asociación y evaluaciones especiales

Los impuestos a la propiedad de Florida se pagan por adelantado, por lo que al cierre el vendedor acredita al comprador los impuestos desde enero 1 hasta la fecha de cierre; cuanto más tarde en el año cierre, mayor será ese crédito. Si la casa está en un condominio o en una asociación de propietarios, la asociación cobra por un certificado estoppel que muestra lo adeudado, con un cargo limitado por la ley de Florida, y cualquier cuota pendiente se liquida al cierre. Una evaluación especial que haya sido impuesta pero no pagada por completo es un asunto negociable: el contrato determina si el vendedor la paga por completo o el comprador la asume.

Reparaciones, créditos y preparación de la vivienda

After the inspection, most buyers ask for repairs or a credit. South Florida insurers care about four things, the roof, the electrical panel, the plumbing and the air conditioning, so a buyer's four point inspection tends to decide what is asked for. Knowing the roof's age and having permits closed before you list removes most surprises. Preparation costs (cleaning, paint, landscaping, staging) are optional, and we tell you which ones the West Miami comparables say will come back in the price and which will not.

Impuestos sobre la ganancia y vendedores extranjeros

Florida no tiene impuesto estatal sobre la renta, por lo que cualquier impuesto sobre su ganancia es federal. Los propietarios que hayan vivido en la vivienda como residencia principal durante dos de los últimos cinco años generalmente pueden excluir hasta $250,000 de ganancia, o $500,000 para una pareja casada que presenta una declaración conjunta; las propiedades de inversión y las segundas viviendas no califican, que es donde entra un intercambio 1031. Si el vendedor es una persona extranjera, por lo general el comprador debe retener, conforme a FIRPTA, 15% del precio de venta para el IRS, a menos que corresponda una excepción o un certificado de retención, algo que debe planificarse meses antes del cierre. Esta es información general, no asesoría tributaria; confirme su situación con un CPA.

West Miami Costs Beyond the County Norms

A West Miami house sale carries costs that come with the age of the houses. Buyers order a four point inspection and a wind mitigation report for their insurance, and a roof near the end of its life, an old electrical panel or cast iron drain lines can lead to a repair request or a credit. An open permit or an unpermitted garage conversion or efficiency has to be resolved or disclosed before closing, which can mean an application with the city. Sellers also budget for title charges and the documentary stamp tax a Florida seller customarily pays on a West Miami deed.

Selling a West Miami Condo or Association Home

Selling a West Miami townhome means bringing the association in early. The buyer's lender and title company ask for the budget, the reserves, the master insurance and the status of any assessment, and the association issues an estoppel letter, with its fee, before closing. Some communities run their own approval for a new owner, so ask the manager how long it takes. A voted assessment is normally paid or credited at closing, and an unpaid balance can hold up a West Miami sale.

When West Miami Sellers Close Fastest

West Miami sells on the family calendar. Houses listed in late winter and spring meet the buyers who want to move before the school year, with closings aimed at summer, and a renovated house that comes to market then meets the most buyers at once. An original house can sell at any time of year to a buyer planning a renovation. Hurricane season slows insurance quotes on older roofs, so have the four point inspection and the wind mitigation report ready before you list in West Miami.
