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. 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: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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: 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.” 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.Housing trends in Wyoming
