Closing Costs for Buyers

August 13, 2020 by Lauren Haug Leave a Comment

Today we’re talking about Closing Costs for Buyers.

If you’re planning to purchase a house, you need to be prepared to pay between 1% and 3% in closing costs once your house closes. Keep in mind, this is IN ADDITION TO your down payment!

A lot of buyers – especially first time home buyers – do not realize this added expense. It’s a good idea to plan and budget for closing costs when you purchase a home.

In the video above, I walk through a Buyer’s Settlement Statement. You’ll receive one of these once you get closer to closing. It itemizes each closing cost item that you’ll be responsible for.

Keep in mind, this is not a comprehensive list. The important thing to remember is that you will need to bring between 1% and 3% to the closing table in addition to your down payment!

Example Closing Cost Items

Prorations and Adjustments

HOA Dues
