The highest price isn't the best offer.

Three offers, side by side. Tap one to see exactly what you would walk away with, and why.

Offer B, the math.

Costs to sell estimated at 7% of price (title, transfer tax, fees and commissions; sample rate). Carrying cost $3,100 a month for mortgage, tax, insurance and HOA, counted from Nov 6.

Recommendation

Take Offer B. Or counter A at $618k.

Cash nets you $2,920 more than A and $2,020 more than C, closes 14 days before A and 39 before C, and has one contingency instead of three or four. Offer C depends on the buyers selling their own home first. If you want to push A, a counter at $618,000 nets $565,310.
