Answer:

Sale price of the house =$190,000.

Deposit to be made when the sales contract is signed =$10,000.

Down payment =25% of $190,000.

Brokers commission =6% of the purchase price i.e., $190,000.

Closing costs =$1,250.

Existing mortage =$70,000.

Proceeds received on sale of the properrty = sale price -broker's commission - closing costs - mortagage balance

=$190,000 -$11,400 -1250-70,000

=$107,350.

Note: Deposit made at the time of sales contract signing is also a proceeds arising out of the sale orice $190,000.
