A house is selling for $190,000. A deposit of $10,000 was made when the sales contract was signed. The down payment is 25% and the balance will be financed with a 25-year mortgage at 9% and 3 discount points. If the sellers are responsible for the broker's commission (6% of the purchase price); $1,250 in other closing costs; and the existing mortgage, with a balance of $70,000; what proceeds will they receive on the sale of the property?
Answer:
Sale price of the house =$190,000.
Deposit to be made when the sales contract is signed =$10,000.

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

=$107,350.
