Frequently Asked Questions

How much are closing costs?

Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the purchase price for buyers and 6-10% for sellers (including agent commissions). On a $400,000 home, buyers might pay $8,000-$20,000, while sellers could pay $24,000-$40,000.

Who pays closing costs, buyer or seller?

Both parties pay closing costs. Buyers pay lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, prepaid taxes/insurance, and recording fees. Sellers pay agent commissions, transfer taxes, and their portion of title fees. Some costs are negotiable.

What is included in closing costs?

Buyer closing costs include loan origination fees, appraisal, credit report, title insurance, escrow fees, prepaid interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. Seller costs include agent commissions, transfer taxes, and title fees.

Can closing costs be rolled into the loan?

Some closing costs can be financed. FHA loans allow the upfront MIP to be added to the loan. Some lenders offer "no-closing-cost" loans with higher interest rates. Seller credits can also help cover buyer closing costs.
