Closing costs
Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much closing costs are? I have no idea how this is figured, and this obviously needs to be calculated into our purchasing budget. Is it based on the cost of the home?

Re: Closing costs
Figure between 10-13K depending on lots of variables.
Did you get a good faith estimate yet on a home or on a dollar amt and taxes?

Re: Closing costs
We're just at the stage when we are calculating what we can afford - so no home to get an estimate on yet.

Re: Closing costs
Ours were $13,000 and that did not include taxes due because they were already paid. But if taxes were not paid add them in too.

This definitely seems right- between 10-13K. Our closing costs are going to run us around 10K, but we also had to figure in half of our taxes, so that brought up to around 12K.

Re: Closing costs
Thanks - probably in the 450-500K range. Still under 15K you think?

Re: Closing costs
Our credit union told us 3-4% of the amount being borrowed. It worked out to exactly 3%, which included a discount from the CU because it was our first mortgage with them

Re: Closing costs
Plan for a few thousand more than the estimated are. 14-15 is right.

Re: Closing costs
our broker said it usually comes out to 3-4% of the total cost of the house.
Our closing costs were about $12k then when we went to closing we got back $2k.

Re: Closing costs
Ours were aroudn 17,000 for a 437,000 house. That included taxes for may which were 3608 but didn't include setting up escrow for taxes & insurance. Bank fees alone can cost anywhere from 5000 to 10000 depending on if you pay points or not plus your title bill which is the other major expenses dependign on the price of the house can be around 5000.
