Let’s talk real numbers.

I’m Preston Hicks with the Preston Hicks Real Estate Group – JMG-Utah. Utah County is still a strong market, but in 2025 buyers are pickier and costs matter. Most sellers I meet want to know, “What will I actually walk away with?”
Here’s the breakdown.

Typical Seller Costs

Agent compensation: often 5–6% of the final sales price, shared between the listing and buyer’s agent.
Closing costs: title, escrow, recording and possible HOA docs, usually 1–3%.
Prep: light paint, cleaning, landscaping. $300–$1,500 gets most Utah County homes show-ready.
Mortgage payoff: get a payoff from your lender before listing.

Well-presented homes in Spanish Fork, Saratoga Springs, and Lehi are still selling close to list price, so good prep is worth it.
