Hurst sellers approaching the net proceeds calculation in 2026 benefit from the same systematic, data-driven approach that the aerospace and defense industry professionals who represent a significant portion of the city's homeowner population bring to every major financial decision. The net proceeds calculation is not a complicated analysis — but it is a specific one, with five components that each require current, address-level inputs to produce a number that is genuinely useful rather than a rough approximation that may be meaningfully inaccurate. Mark Hewitt and the Hewitt Group at Real Broker, LLC provide every Hurst seller with the specific, verified, and complete net proceeds analysis before the listing date — because the sellers who know their actual net proceeds before listing make better decisions at every subsequent stage of the transaction.
The Five Components of the Hurst Net Proceeds Calculation
Component One: Commission
At a 5.5% total commission structure on a $315,000 Hurst home in 76053, the commission is $17,325. On a $375,000 home in the northern 76054 corridor, the commission is $20,625. These are the largest single costs of the respective transactions and the component that most directly responds to negotiation — the Hewitt Group discusses commission structure transparently at the initial consultation for every Hurst listing.
Component Two: Title and Closing Costs
Owner's title insurance on a $315,000 Hurst sale runs approximately $1,725 to $1,975. On a $375,000 sale, it runs approximately $2,000 to $2,300. Escrow and closing fees, recording fees, and doc prep add approximately $575 to $850 for most Hurst transactions. Total seller title and closing costs for Hurst transactions typically run $2,300 to $3,150.
Component Three: HEB ISD Tax Proration
Hurst's HEB ISD school district assignment and the combined effective property tax rate of approximately 2.2% to 2.4% that applies to most 76053 and 76054 addresses produces the proration calculation that is standard throughout the HEB corridor. For a $315,000 Hurst home at a 2.3% combined rate, the annual tax obligation is approximately $7,245 and the daily proration rate is approximately $19.85. For a $375,000 home at the same rate, the annual tax is approximately $8,625 and the daily proration rate is approximately $23.63.
Proration by Closing Month for the $315,000 Hurst Home:
April 1 closing (91 days): approximately $1,806 proration credit
June 1 closing (152 days): approximately $3,017 proration credit
August 1 closing (213 days): approximately $4,228 proration credit
October 1 closing (274 days): approximately $5,439 proration credit
Proration by Closing Month for the $375,000 Hurst Home:
April 1 closing (91 days): approximately $2,150 proration credit
June 1 closing (152 days): approximately $3,592 proration credit
August 1 closing (213 days): approximately $5,033 proration credit
October 1 closing (274 days): approximately $6,475 proration credit
This proration calendar analysis is particularly useful for Hurst sellers who have flexibility about their closing timeline and who want to understand the financial impact of closing in different months. A Hurst seller who moves from a September closing to a March closing saves approximately $4,000 in proration on a $315,000 home — a meaningful improvement in net proceeds that is worth considering in the listing timeline if the seller has the flexibility.
Component Four: Outstanding Mortgage Payoff
For Hurst sellers who purchased their homes in the 2010s at the lower price points that characterized the HEB corridor during that period, the outstanding mortgage balance may represent a modest proportion of the current sale price — reflecting both the price appreciation and the principal paydown that years of regular mortgage payments have produced. For more recent purchasers with higher loan-to-value ratios, the payoff represents a larger proportion of the proceeds.
The daily interest accrual on a $165,000 outstanding balance at a 3.5% note rate is approximately $15.82. At a 4.5% rate, the daily accrual is approximately $20.34. These daily amounts, multiplied by the number of days between the most recent statement and the closing date, produce the accrued interest component of the payoff that should be added to the statement balance for the pre-closing net proceeds estimate.
Component Five: Seller Concessions
Seller concessions in the current Hurst market reflect the same moderated buyer demand and extended days on market that characterize the broader HEB corridor. In the central 76053 corridor where mid-century housing stock requires buyer acceptance of condition variability, concessions of 1% to 2% are common in 2026. In the northern 76054 corridor near Colleyville where the newer stock and better school district adjacency support stronger demand, concessions may be smaller for well-positioned listings.

The Aerospace Professional's Investment Return Perspective
Hurst's technically oriented homeowner demographic sometimes extends the net proceeds analysis beyond the closing statement calculation to evaluate the financial return on the homeownership investment — comparing the net proceeds to the original purchase price plus all capital improvements to calculate the total financial return from owning the Hurst property. For a seller who purchased at $195,000 in 2012, invested $40,000 in capital improvements during the ownership, and is receiving $123,960 in net proceeds from a $315,000 sale, the total return on the investment is approximately $88,960 ($315,000 net sale value minus the $226,000 total invested — purchase price plus improvements) before accounting for the mortgage interest paid during the ownership period.
While this investment return analysis goes beyond the standard net proceeds calculation, the Hewitt Group is prepared to provide the data inputs — purchase price, documented capital improvements, and current market value — that support this analysis for Hurst sellers who want the complete financial picture of their homeownership investment.
