Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home
It depends on the price of the house. Our house was 300K and our closing costs were 12K.

Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home
That sounds about right for a house about 350 or so...

It all depends on different things, not just the purchase price...

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.

Re: FOr those who have purchased a Home
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.
