No.  Purchase price plus improvements is not considered Selling Expense in the computation for sale of the condo.

 

Question 1 - The sales price is what you actually sold it for.  You may have to make some calculations if there were several assets included in the sales price.  But it is what you are selling that particular item for.

 

Question 2:

 

The sales price is the amount the condo was sold for.

 

Selling expenses does not include the cost of the condo plus improvements.  Purchase price plus improvements is considered the cost or basis in the condo.

 

Selling expenses can include transfer taxes, stamp taxes, sales commissions paid to a real estate agent, any fees for a service that helped you sell your home without a broker, advertising fees, legal fees, and any mortgage points or other loan charges you paid that would normally have been the buyer's responsibility.
