What to prepare before you sell
The range starts from Census and FHFA data for your ZIP code, adjusted for your home's own facts. Then you see the typical listing agent fee on that figure: the amount you keep by selling yourself.
Across 40,000+ homes listed for sale by their owners since June 18, 2026, the median asking price is $339,000, or $205 per square foot, with the middle half of homes between $150 and $287 per square foot. Hawaii is the dearest state at $646 per square foot and Mississippi the cheapest at $143. A seller's agent typically takes 2.75% of the price, $9,323 on the $339,000 median, and many sellers also pay the buyer's agent.
What owners are asking per square foot, by state
Asking prices of more than 40,000 US homes listed for sale by their owners between June 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026, each home counted once, with land and agent listings removed. Portals report agent listings; owner listings sit outside them.

From the estimate to the money you keep in the United States
A seller's agent in the United States typically charges 2.75% for the listing side. On the $339,000 that owners there are asking at the median that is $9,323, paid out of the sale price. Selling yourself keeps it. Many sellers also pay the buyer's agent, typically about 2.4 to 2.7%, though since 2024 that is negotiated separately. Closing goes through a title or escrow company, or an attorney in some states, about $3,926 on the seller's side, as in any sale.

Questions about home values in the United States
How accurate is a home value estimate in the United States?
The figure is an estimate for homes like yours in your ZIP code, not of your particular house: the Census Bureau's median value of owner-occupied homes there (2020-2024 survey), carried forward to 2025 with the FHFA house price index for the ZIP code, scaled for your bedrooms and size with the asking prices of 40,000+ US homes listed by their owners, and adjusted for the condition you choose. A reading of the home's facts then narrows it, held within 20% of that range. It is a range because there is no single selling price until a buyer agrees one. For a lender, a court or an estate you need an appraisal.
Can I sell my home without an agent in the United States?
Yes. Closing goes through a title or escrow company, or an attorney in some states, about $3,926 on the seller's side, as in any sale. The agent's own fee, typically 2.75% in the United States, is the part a private sale keeps. Anyone.com takes owner listings in the United States, and our comparison page covers every site that does.
