How Much Are Closing Costs?

The closing costs associated with a real estate transaction can vary significantly depending on various factors such as the location, property value, loan amount, and specific terms negotiated in the transaction. Closing costs typically range from 2% to 5% of the property’s purchase price.

Here are some common expenses that are typically included in closing costs:

1. Loan-Related Fees: These include application fees, loan origination fees, and points (optional fees paid to lower the interest rate).
2. Appraisal Fee: This covers the cost of a professional appraisal to determine the property’s value.
3. Inspection Fees: These include the cost of property inspections, such as general inspection, pest inspection, and others as required.
4. Title Insurance: This insurance protects the lender and buyer against any issues with the title, such as liens or ownership disputes.
5. Attorney or Escrow Fees: The fees charged by the attorney or escrow agent who handles the closing process.
6. Survey Fee: This covers the cost of a property survey to verify property boundaries and structures.
7. Property Taxes: You may be required to prepay property taxes at closing.
8. Property Insurance: Lenders typically require proof of insurance, and you may need to pay for the first year’s premium upfront.
9. Recording Fees: These fees are charged by the county or local jurisdiction to record the sale and transfer of the property.

It’s important to note that closing costs can vary significantly depending on the factors mentioned above and can also be subject to negotiation between the buyer and seller.
