Estimate what you could keep
Anniston, AL illustrative estimate
Anniston home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.
Selling a house in Alabama
Inherited house
Can you sell an inherited Alabama house before the estate is finished? Often, yes, once the right person has legal power to sign. The probate court appoints a personal representative to handle the estate. If there is a will, this is usually the executor it names. The court's letters show that person's authority. A will generally must be filed for probate within five years after the death. If the will expressly authorizes the personal representative to sell the house, the sale can usually proceed under that power. Otherwise, the personal representative needs the court's approval before selling estate property. If no estate is opened, the heirs may be able to sell together, but everyone with an ownership interest must participate, and estate debts and a surviving spouse's rights can still affect the title. The closing attorney or title company will confirm what is needed. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Foreclosure
Can you still sell your Alabama house in foreclosure? Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. A mortgage with a power of sale lets the lender foreclose without a court case. The sale notice generally must run once a week for three successive weeks in a newspaper in the county, or an adjoining county if none is published there. After the sale, Alabama gives certain people a limited right to buy the house back, called redemption. For residential property with a homestead exemption claimed in the year of the sale, the usual period is 180 days for a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016. Other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. For qualifying homestead property, missing required notice can change when the redemption clock starts, but it cannot extend redemption beyond one year after foreclosure. Redeeming means paying the sale price, interest and lawful charges, which can include improvements, taxes and insurance. If the purchaser also owns the mortgage debt, the remaining debt and interest can be due too. A debtor or mortgagor still in possession must leave within 10 days after the purchaser's written demand or risk losing redemption rights. Redemption is not extra time to stay in the house. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Tenants
Can you sell an Alabama rental house with tenants living in it? Yes. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it. Alabama security deposits generally cannot exceed one month's rent, with extra amounts allowed for pets, changes to the home or added liability risk. Within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, the landlord must mail the refund and an itemized account of lawful deductions. Failing to mail the refund or accounting on time can cost twice the original deposit. The holder of the landlord's interest when the tenancy ends is bound by these rules, so transfer the deposits and rental records at closing. Ending a month-to-month tenancy generally takes written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy generally takes at least seven days' written notice. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach.

Alabama deed tax
What tax does Alabama charge when a house sells? Alabama charges a deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. With no applicable mortgage-tax deduction, a $100,000 sale owes $100 and a $100,200 sale owes $100.50. The taxable value can be reduced by a mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid; the closing attorney confirms that amount. The deed must come with proof of the actual price or value. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply. The tax and recording fees must be paid before recording. Some deeds are exempt, including certain nominal-price deeds that only correct title. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Code violations and sale requirements
Can you sell an Alabama house with code violations? Usually, yes, but open orders and city charges still need to be resolved. Alabama municipalities can repair or demolish an unsafe building after the required notices and process, then assess the cost against the property as a lien. A sale does not erase that lien. Local laws can also allow a city to charge for clearing weeds or debris; the authority and steps depend on the city. Check with the city and closing attorney about any open order, assessment or deadline. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
