You can discount the principal payments somewhat, too, because you'll lose 10% of total value selling.

Why do you lose 10% selling? 6% for real estate cartel commission I guess. If you are in a hot market you can use redfin or similar low rate companies, don't pay the buyers agent. I'm trying to talk myself into it. No one is doing $60k of work selling your million dollar place.

6% to the cartel and another 3-4% in other transaction fees (title fees and insurance, excise tax, etc).
