What It Costs to Sell a Home in Lowell
In Massachusetts, the seller pays the state deed excise tax of $4.56 for every $1,000 of the sale price. On a Lowell home that sells for the median price of $566,333, that comes to about $2,580.
Before closing, you'll also need a smoke and carbon monoxide detector certificate from the Lowell Fire Department, which inspects the home for a small fee. Many Massachusetts sellers also hire their own attorney to prepare the deed and review the closing.
Other costs to plan for include the real estate commission, which is negotiable, your share of the year's property taxes, any repairs agreed to after the inspection, and paying off your mortgage. Before you list, Tim can estimate your net proceeds so you know what you'll walk away with.

Selling a Lowell Multifamily, Older Home or Condo
Multifamily homes
Lowell has many two-, three- and four-family homes, including classic triple-deckers. Buyers judge them by their rents as much as their condition, so Tim helps you gather the rent roll, leases and expenses they'll ask for, and he schedules showings around your tenants. At closing, tenants' security deposits and any prepaid last month's rent transfer to the buyer. Investors also ask whether units have been deleaded, because Massachusetts requires deleading when a child under 6 lives in a rental unit. If your property has a Letter of Compliance, it's a strong selling point.
Older homes
With a median build year of 1930, most Lowell homes were built before 1978. Massachusetts sellers of those homes must give buyers the Property Transfer Lead Paint Notification, and buyers can have the home inspected for lead within 10 days. Buyers' inspectors also look closely at older wiring, heating systems and foundations, so Tim helps you decide what to fix before listing and what to price in instead.
Condos
Many Lowell condos are in converted mill buildings downtown and in larger complexes around the city. When you sell a Massachusetts condo, the buyer's attorney will ask for a 6(d) certificate from your association confirming your fees are paid up, along with the association's documents and budget. Tim helps you request these early so they don't delay your closing.
