A Wisconsin sale, worked out

The calculator opens on $295,000, about the median value of an owner-occupied home in Wisconsin ($294,700, 2024 Census estimate), with a $150,000 mortgage payoff as an example. Commissions are whatever the seller agrees, so they’re left out here.

Before commissions and the payoff, the seller’s costs come to about $5,350, or 1.81% of the price, for a closing on December 5, 2026. Wisconsin’s transfer tax on a $400,000 sale is the 24th highest of the 35 states and DC that have one.
