It depends on the price of the house. Our house was 300K and our closing costs were 12K.
HTH.

Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home

ours were $14K Chat Icon 6 months of property taxes killed us, especially since they didnt have STAR

eta: ours were only $14K, not $18K. and 6 mo's of taxes was $4K.

That sounds about right for a house about 350 or so...

Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home

There are alot of things that factor in when figuring the closing costs.

My house was 500K and our closing costs were about 11K. We were told it would be about 12K and then we got credited some money at the closing table.

Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home

just remember that closing costs can be anywhere between 3%-6% of the agreed on sale price. so for you that's about $13200-$26400...so imagine it'll be somewhere in the middle of that.

Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home

our house was 437 and our closing costs were around $15,000.00 it might have been alittle more because we had to pay may taxes. it is usually about 3-4% of the price of the home. It also depends on what day of the month you close and if you are escrowing for taxes and insurance.

My bank said a good guide is to use 3-4% of the amount you are borrowing to get the closing costs.

Ours were 10K in 2005.
