The Service

Seller net proceeds analysis: how it works here

A seller net proceeds analysis replaces the number in your head with the number on the wire: sale-price scenarios minus payoff, Maryland transfer and recordation taxes, commissions, prep, and credits.

A seller net sheet in Travilah starts with one of the larger tax bills in Montgomery County. Owner-occupied Travilah houses paid $14,288.15 at the midpoint of levy year 2025 bills, and one in ten paid more than $22,743.74. The tax year runs from July 1, so at settlement the title company splits it by days owned.

Most sale prices here clear $1 million. For 2020-2024, Census estimates value 73.4% of Travilah owner homes at seven figures, while Montgomery County as a whole sits at 18.8%. That pushes the typical sale into the county recordation tax’s top tier, $11.35 per $500 on the portion above $1,000,000.

Take a $1.5 million Travilah sale. Its top $500,000 slice costs $11,350 in county recordation tax by itself. We give that slice its own line so it can’t hide inside a total.

The county’s 1% transfer tax hits any improved home that sells for $70,000 or more. Unless a contract says otherwise, the state’s default puts half of transfer and recordation taxes on each side. A buyer purchasing a first Maryland home moves the entire bill to the seller.

Then there’s the septic question. About a quarter of Travilah parcels pay the state septic fee, and a failed septic inspection can turn into a repair credit. We leave a contingency line for it on those houses.

Payoffs come next. Some Travilah owners refinanced or opened a home equity line along the way, so we ask for every lien statement, not just the first mortgage.

Three prices, one sheet.

The underlying service is described at Seller net proceeds analysis. Tax wording for ads sits on home seller requirements in Travilah, and pricing logic is on when to list a home in Travilah. Where fewer sales cross $1 million, the sheet looks different, as Seller net sheet in Derwood shows. Your three versions come from a Travilah real estate agent in a day or two.

Where We Work

Travilah service area

The tax line on a Travilah net sheet depends on the parcel, not the postal name. Bills here go out under Rockville, Potomac, Gaithersburg and North Potomac addresses, all at the same county and state rate. Estate lots west of Travilah Road often carry the largest assessments, while houses on smaller subdivision lots near Shady Grove Road come in lower. Lots on septic, common along Glen Mill Road and Query Mill Road, get the extra contingency line. Nothing is borrowed. Every figure comes from your own bill and survey.

Answered

Common questions in Travilah

Q: How large is a Travilah homeowner’s yearly tax bill? A: Half of Travilah principal residences paid more than $14,288.15 on levy year 2025 bills, and one in ten passed $22,743.74. Montgomery County’s tax year starts July 1, so a summer closing in Travilah usually means a large prepaid amount credited back to the seller. Q: How much recordation tax applies to a $1.5 million Travilah sale? A: On the $500,000 above $1,000,000, Montgomery County charges $11.35 per $500, or $11,350, plus the lower tiers on the first million. Since Census estimates value 73.4% of Travilah owner homes at $1 million or more, most local sales reach that top tier. Q: Does the seller or buyer cover Travilah transfer taxes? A: Maryland’s default divides transfer and recordation taxes in half, and the contract may change that. When a first-time Maryland buyer is purchasing, the seller carries all of them. On top of that, a 1% county transfer tax applies to an improved Travilah house at any price of $70,000 or more.

FAQBefore You Reach Out

Home sale net proceeds calculator for Travilah, MD sellers

How much will I net from selling my house in Travilah, MD?

Your net is the sale price minus your mortgage payoff, commission, your share of transfer and recordation taxes, settlement fees, credits and prorated taxes. On higher-priced Travilah homes, tax lines are larger. We prepare a written net sheet at several likely prices.

Who pays transfer tax when selling a house in Travilah, MD?

It is negotiable. In Montgomery County, buyer and seller often split state and county transfer and recordation taxes by custom. When the buyer is a first-time Maryland buyer, the state transfer tax is reduced and the seller usually pays the remaining state share.

Do I pay withholding tax selling a Travilah, MD house as a non Maryland resident?

Yes, Maryland generally requires withholding from a nonresident seller's proceeds at settlement unless an exemption applies, and you reconcile it on a Maryland return. The Comptroller of Maryland publishes the current rate and exemption forms. Ask the title company early so any exemption is filed before your Travilah settlement.

How is my mortgage paid off when I sell my Travilah, MD house?

The title company orders a payoff statement from your lender and pays the loan directly from your sale proceeds at settlement. Any home equity line must be paid and closed too. You receive the remaining funds once the deed is recorded.

Does a seller pay the water bill at settlement in Travilah, MD?

If the home has WSSC Water, the title company usually orders a final reading or holds an escrow for the last bill. Travilah homes on private wells have no water bill, but the required well water test is part of the sale. We show these items on your net sheet.

How do seller concessions for buyer closing costs work in Travilah, MD?

A concession is a credit from you to the buyer at settlement, usually toward their closing costs. Lenders cap the amount, and it reduces your net much like a price cut. We show concessions and price changes side by side on your net sheet so you can respond to requests with clear figures.
