Price and time explorer
A higher price. But what would you keep?
Explore how a different sale price and extra time could change the result after costs.
A higher sale price can leave you with less if getting there costs too much. Compare two possible outcomes—not two predictions.
Build your comparison
A possible sale price to compare against. Use a supported estimate for your home when you have one.
Additional days compared with the reference option. The tool does not estimate how long either sale will take.
Include mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, HOA, utilities and upkeep. Exclude mortgage principal; it reduces your loan balance. Count escrowed taxes and insurance only once.
Adjust selling costs & extra work
5% is an editable example, not our fee or a quote. Use the negotiated commissions and other costs that change with sale price.
Only costs unique to this option. Do not also include them in the monthly expenses.
After the extra costs
$5,575ahead of the reference option
Assuming a sale at $360,500 takes 60 extra days.
About 136 extra days would use up the price benefit under these assumptions.
How time uses up the difference
Drag the extra-days slider to explore.
Above the dashed $0 line: the test option leaves more. Below it: added costs outweigh the price difference.

Put the math in context
Is the higher price supported?
A positive result only helps if buyers will pay that price. Compare recent sales, current alternatives and your home’s condition. Then set a review point using real showings, feedback and offers.
Talk through your pricing options →What this leaves out
Loan payoff, fixed closing costs shared by both options, personal taxes, moving expenses and changes in the market. Mortgage principal payments can change your eventual payoff; this compares ownership expenses, not cash-flow needs.
Months use 30 days. Prices, costs and timing are your assumptions. This is not an appraisal or a prediction. Nothing you enter is sent to us.
