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.

As a rental property, I assume it is safe to reduce the selling price by the HOA fees, Rate Buy-down (seller paid), and RE Admin Fee?

Thanks!

The HOA fees would be a deduction against your rental income on your Schedule E since those are a part of maintaining the property and would be incurred regardless of a sale or not.  They would not be a reduction to your sales proceeds on the sale of the rental property.

 

If the real estate administration fees were part of your regular rental activity, then those expenses would also be offset on Schedule E.  If they were part of the required fees to sell the rental property, then they could be used as part of your selling expenses.
