    That is correct.  Most of the expenses listed above except for the property taxes would be considered selling expenses.

     

    The remaining expenses which would be added to the basis would include the title tax certificate, title insurance, and any legal or recording fees.

     

    Please see this link about rental real estate for a breakdown of the terminology.

    unless the property is a rental HOA costs are personal - not deductible as not selling expenses or anything else. also real estate admin fee is probably a personal expense. 

    I'm not sure why the temporary rate buydown would be a charge unless you are doing it for the buyer.

    Thanks for the info. This was a rental property so I assume it is okay to reduce selling price by HOA fees? Is the RE Admin fee still not included? Also, the rate buydown was seller paid.
