They estimated the oil costs we owe, nd have to bring a personal check book to cover if it's more, or if the deed recording is more than the estimated.

Re: We're closing on Monday! And we just got our closing costs!

Mine was $12k in 2005 for oue Levitt cape but we got $7500 back from Taxes.....and we did have to pay $500 for oil. We got the check for $7500 a few months after we closed, and the letter that came with the check said to keep the money in case the town comes after us for it.

So far so good

See, that I see is a waste - and people wonder why the house market is overfilled down here - to buy a house means buying a house and a half with closing costs!

Re: We're closing on Monday! And we just got our closing costs!

Ours were supposed to be $13K and we ended up paying about $11. It all depends about the taxes as well. My taxes weren't that bad.

We got a check back at closing..that was sweet!
