Net proceeds are before mortgage payoff, repairs, and any buyer concessions — those depend on the house. Sources: Redfin state market tracker, May 2026; Clever, Feb 2026 survey (state avg); Redfin national est., May 2026 (low end of 1-3% range excl. commission, transfer tax itemized separately); UT has no real estate transfer tax (PropertyShark, Dec 2025).
How Utah's rates turn into dollars.
At 5.71%, the average agent commission in Utah lands almost exactly on the 5.68% average across the 50 state figures in the same Clever survey. That rate alone is about $31,976 at the median, typically split between the listing agent and the buyer's agent (Clever, Feb 2026 survey (state avg)).
Transfer tax is where states differ most, and here Utah sellers catch a break: no statewide transfer tax comes out of the seller's side of the sale (UT has no real estate transfer tax (PropertyShark, Dec 2025)). Nominal recording fees at the county level.
The remaining 1% — about $5,600 at the median — covers the seller's closing costs: title work, settlement, recording, and prorations (Redfin national est., May 2026 (low end of 1-3% range excl. commission, transfer tax itemized separately)). Utah doesn't mandate an attorney at the closing table, so legal fees only land on this line if a seller chooses to hire one.
The anchor for all of this math is Utah's median sale price — $560,000 (Redfin state market tracker, May 2026). A typical listing went under contract in 41 days (Redfin state market tracker, May 2026), which works out to about 6 weeks of mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and utilities the seller keeps carrying in the meantime — a cost no closing statement itemizes.
For scale: that $560,000 median sits above the midpoint of the 50 state medians in the same Redfin tracker ($413,000), and the 41-day pace is right around the cross-state median of 42 days — a fairly typical wait between listing and going under contract. The wait runs on property taxes too: Utah's 0.63% average effective rate ranks 41st of 50 — among the lowest in the country.
Quick answers on Utah selling costs.
Does Utah charge a seller transfer tax?
No — no statewide transfer tax comes out of the seller's side of a Utah home sale (source: UT has no real estate transfer tax (PropertyShark, Dec 2025)). Nominal recording fees at the county level.
How much does it cost to sell a house in Utah?
On Utah's $560,000 median sale, agent commission at 5.71% runs about $31,976 and seller closing costs at 1% add roughly $5,600, with no seller transfer tax on top. That totals about $37,576 — roughly 6.71% of the price — before mortgage payoff, repairs, or concessions. Sources: Clever, Feb 2026 survey (state avg); Redfin national est., May 2026 (low end of 1-3% range excl. commission, transfer tax itemized separately).
What would a seller net on a median-priced Utah home?
Selling at the $560,000 median (Redfin state market tracker, May 2026) with all of the sourced rates on this page applied leaves an estimated $522,424 — before the mortgage payoff and any repairs or concessions, which vary house by house. Utah listings went under contract in a median of 41 days (Redfin state market tracker, May 2026), and every extra week on the market adds another round of carrying costs to that math.
What the math doesn't show.
The numbers above describe the traditional route in Utah: agent commission, seller closing costs, and transfer tax come off the price before your mortgage payoff — roughly 6.71% of the price in all. On top of that sit repairs, concessions, and the weeks of waiting before a financed buyer closes. Every figure is an estimate from the sourced rates; your real costs vary by county, property, agent, and buyer.
Where a cash sale differs: some owners sell as-is to an independent cash buyer to skip the agent commission and repairs and close on their own timeline. The headline price is usually lower, but so are the costs and the wait — so the net can land closer than it looks once you subtract everything above.
