Selling a Home in Arizona
Arizona has no state real estate transfer tax — one of the most seller-friendly states in the country. The biggest seller-side costs are agent commissions, owner's title insurance, escrow fees, and HOA transfer fees.
Arizona Title Insurance & Closing Costs
Arizona uses title companies for closing. The seller customarily pays the owner's title policy and splits escrow fees with the buyer.
How to Estimate Your Arizona Net Proceeds
- Sale Price: Start with the agreed-upon contract price.
- Mortgage Payoff: Subtract your remaining loan balance and accrued interest through closing.
- Closing Costs: Deduct commissions, owner's title insurance, escrow/settlement, recording, and HOA fees.
- No State Transfer Tax: Arizona sellers skip the state-level transfer/excise tax line entirely.
Arizona Net Proceeds = Sale Price − Mortgage Payoff − Commissions − Closing Costs
