To determine the value of your house and calculate how much cash you will receive after selling, you can follow these steps:
### 1. Determine the Market Value of Your House
- **Engage a Property Valuer**: Hire a professional valuer to assess the market value of your house.
- **Check Recent Transactions**: Look at recent sales transactions of similar properties in your area. Websites such as HDB’s resale flat prices portal can be useful for this.
- **Consult Property Agents**: Get opinions from property agents who are familiar with your area.
### 2. Calculate Potential Sale Proceeds
1. **Estimated Sale Price**: Based on market value or appraisal.
Example: SGD 500,000
2. **Outstanding Home Loan**: Find out the remaining balance of your home loan from your bank or financial institution.
Example: SGD 200,000
3. **CPF Refund**: Calculate the amount of CPF you need to refund (principal plus accrued interest). This information can be obtained from your CPF account.
Example: SGD 150,000
4. **Sales Costs**: Include agent commission, legal fees, and other miscellaneous costs.
- **Agent Commission**: Typically 2% of the sale price.
Example: 2% of SGD 500,000 = SGD 10,000
- **Legal Fees**: Usually around SGD 2,500 to SGD 3,000.
Example: SGD 3,000
### Calculation
1. **Estimated Sale Price**:
SGD 500,000
2. **Subtract Outstanding Home Loan**:
SGD 500,000 - SGD 200,000 = SGD 300,000
3. **Subtract CPF Refund**:
SGD 300,000 - SGD 150,000 = SGD 150,000
4. **Subtract Sales Costs**:
- Agent Commission: SGD 10,000
- Legal Fees: SGD 3,000
Total Sales Costs: SGD 13,000
SGD 150,000 - SGD 13,000 = SGD 137,000
### Estimated Cash Proceeds
You will receive approximately SGD 137,000 in cash after selling your house, repaying your home loan, refunding the CPF, and covering all sales-related costs.
### Additional Considerations
- **Mortgage Penalty**: Check if there are any penalties for early repayment of your mortgage.
- **CPF Accrued Interest**: Ensure you have the latest figures for the CPF accrued interest to avoid underestimating the refund amount.
- **Property Taxes and Maintenance Fees**: Settle any outstanding property taxes and maintenance fees before selling.
### Resources
- **HDB Resale Portal**: [HDB Resale Flat Prices](https://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BB33RTIS/BB33PReslTrans.jsp)
- **CPF Services**: Access your CPF account details via the CPF website to check the amount needed for refund.
By following these steps and using accurate data, you can estimate the cash proceeds from selling your house. If in doubt, consulting with a financial advisor or property agent can provide more personalized and detailed advice.
