Navigating Closing Costs for Sellers in Arizona
Selling your home in Arizona? Here's a quick overview of closing costs to help you prepare:
1. **Real Estate Commission (5-6%)**: A significant expense, split between the seller's and buyer's agents.
2. **Title and Escrow Fees**: Covers title insurance and secure escrow services.
3. **Transfer Taxes**: State and county taxes based on the sale price.
4. **Prorated Property Taxes**: The seller pays their share up to the closing date.
5. **Home Warranty**: Optional, but it can be an expense.
6. **HOA Fees**: If applicable, clear outstanding dues.
7. **Repairs, Inspections**: Be ready for potential costs to meet buyer conditions.
8. **Notary, Recording, and Courier Fees**: Smaller charges that add up.
9. **Outstanding Loan Balances**: Pay off any remaining mortgage from the sale proceeds.
10. **Miscellaneous Expenses**: Be prepared for unexpected costs.
Keep these costs in mind to make your Arizona home sale a smoother process.

thinking about how I had a few folks at my last market suggest to me (kindly and with good intentions) that I make and sell some versions of the hand knit cardigan I was wearing because people would "totally pay $300 for that!"
I appreciated the sentiment, but people don't understand what goes into handmade clothes! I don't use a knitting machine. Every stitch in that garment is created by hand on needles, and the sleeves were brioche. Even using inexpensive acrylic yarn for the whole project, and accounting for the HUGE sleeve stitches (saving me time making the sleeves)—the material cost was $55 and the labor was well beyond that.
Let's conservatively estimate the cardigan took me 30 hours to create. Currently, when pressed to put a dollar amount to my time, I use the living wage as a baseline and then go up from there $1/hour for every year I have been actively practicing that particular skill. In the case of knitting that would be 11 years, and the current living wage in my area is approximately $23/hour. Setting aside the fact that this is calculated based on a 40 hour work week and I don't believe that is ethical or sustainable, we'll just leave it at $34/hour. That would make labor alone $1,020.
This brings the "production cost" to $1,075.
Items are not sold at production cost because that would leave your profit margin at 0%. This is not sustainable because it costs money to run a business (think things like paying for computer repairs, buying tools, the tablecloth you use at markets, paying for a website, etc.). Realistically to cover business costs and still come out with a 7% "net" profit margin, which is just a number pulled from averages in the clothing retail business...
... I'd have to sell that cardigan for $1,350.
So yeah! Something to think about when you see the price of clothes that are handmade. :o)
#and this is for something made with PLASTIC yarn!! not cotton! not wool! not really ethical even though it's technically#slow fashion#this is why garments were originally intended to last a LIFETIME or even generations!!!!#they are not cheap! clothes should proportionately be one of the singularly most expensive things we own btw!!#thank you for coming to my talk#I will be ranting again about this in the future I'm sure#handmade fashion#small business#fast fashion#shop small#etsy seller#knitting#fiber art#handmade life#fashion#indie fashion#style#strawberrum chirps

My ebay
My depop
I've got a couple things listed on each and will be listing more soon! Some items include a warhammer 40k figure, an (actual) vintage sewing machine, and some jewelry on depop. More clothes will be added there along with books and a hunger games box set, which I can say is authentically a early 2010s relic xD.
Come check it out if you want anything!! No pressure if you don't! The depop stuff should he very inexpensive as well, so don't worry about that!
Time for my Tumblr garage sale! Come on in!
#the ebay stuff is marginally more expensive because of the research i did on the original prices#im going to be listing the books on my ebay most likely#also when i start an etsy#i will be selling like a 'date with a comic' stuff. that or just a comic lot#will be listing some new stuff soon. including a nice winter coat and some dresses and shirts#come check it out!!#online garage sale#garage sale#tumblr garage sale#ebayseller#ebay#hunger games#warhammer 40k#depop#depop seller#don't worry if you can't get anything!! the cheapest thing on depop in selling right now is 4 dollars though! it is a doctor who tardis#necklace. the other is a cute little turtle necklace#i feature my cat modeling both on the listing pictures ^-^

a) The prices are in USD are 2x more expensive for me
b) The international shipping and customs will make it 5x more expensive

Why Is it so Expensive?!??#so many charms#so many pins#so many plushies…#im looking to see if there’s any 🍁 sellers#grrrrr one day I will obtain a skrungly fe3h plush#just you wait

not me dithering for 2 months on whether to buy the Asobi store-exclusive physical items only for them to sell out 😭💔😭💔😭💔
#dolphin noises#remaster#i am stingy to a fault even when i want something and know i want something it takes me a long time to convince myself i can buy it ;_:#the more expensive/useless the item is the more anxiety i get about buying#wish i could be more like my internet friends who probably spend too much on merch 😅#but all i hear is my parents' voice saying 'you don't need that you have merch at home' 'you dont need comissions you're an artist arent yo#i had several tabs of sellers open on my laptop for literal months and now that i finally got over my anxiety they're all sold out 😭😭😭😭😭#if anyone knows of good sites that sell japanese merch abroad lmk. i'll keep an eye out too to see if any of these listings change#maybe it's still being sold somewhere im not tech savvy/japanese fluent enough to find#but in the meanwhile i think i need to cry actual tears brb ;_;

my print manu has raised some of their prices so if some of my products cost a little more, that's why!
#the 8x10s have especially gotten expensive#my oldest prints (which are 8x10s and my best sellers) are criminally underpriced ngl#i LOVE my manu tho i wouldnt change them for the world. they deliver great quality that compliments my style so well#ill be adjusting shipping tho! my packages have gotten slightly lighter so i will be dropping the base price by 50 cents <3#anyway i got my sticker designs done so all thats left are the prints :]

sharing some of my pinned morpho butters with you hope that's cool 🥺👉👈 i got so excited to see your new framed one, it's absolutely gorgeous!
Oh these are all radiant! The blue shine is always so mesmerising to look at to me.
I'm guessing Rehtenor, Sulkowsky, Common Blue/Helanor and then Theseus? I would happily sell my soul for that Sulkowsky, it's such a pretty specimen!!
#thank you so much for showing!! these are so so pretty#I swear I can never find sellers who sell them separately? It's always in a big bundle which is wayyy to expensive for me lol#crossing my fingers to find some soon (after I've saved up again lmao)#mel's asks#butterflies

#i have a few freebie/non official ones also#literally you’re about to make me go on a han pc buying spree#*slams credit card on the table* give me more pieces of paper with this particular man’s face on it posthaste!#he’s so pretty i’ve been looking at these for way too long#ty for asking though i love to share hanji any chance i get fr 🥲#lake 🍓#fun fact! i searched high and low of the dandelion one. idk why it spoke to me… but i knew i must have it…#also fun fact! surprisingly my most expensive pc is actually a bang chan one and not hanji ☝️#another fun fact! i have two of the middle left. bc of a shipping error i ended up ordering another one from a different seller#i ended up tracking down the first one though (he was a lil damaged) and now the first one lives in my cars sun visor#he’s double sided 😋#actually quite a few of them are 🤔#not quite a few but like more than 3? i think?

(Tmi ask warning? I think?)
The latest chapter had me wondering from the tidbit of Kyle nervous about taking John's knot, but can betas technically fit a knot in them?
I'd imagine with enough prep it would be a yes. It'd probably be a common kink in this universe given that we probably have toys like that irl 😭 (not 100 on that because not my thing really but I'd imagine it exists lmao)
Lmao it takes a lot to make me TMI darling.
But yeah, betas can take knots, but it would take a lot of prep and lube since it's a lot and their bodies aren't quite built for it like omegas are.
I can imagine it is a kink lol. There's probably alphas and betas out there that like being knotted 😂 there's probably knotting toys in that universe (and yes they do exist in this one). The market is probably made up of more alphas and betas for those than omegas 😂
#i've looked into them#if my body wasnt so fucked up i'd probably buy one#they're expensive though#theres several places that sell them#including bad dragon but don't buy from them#don't support them they've always been garbage#there's plenty of other shops and indie sellers that make them#support small businesses#buy your dildos from them#answered
