Re: sorry if this is very personal but.....
It really depends on many things - including the taxes of where you are moving towards, the amount you are financing, etc. Also, I live out east and they have something called the 'Peconic Fund'. You have to pay a 2% fee on the selling price. The proceeds go towards land conservation. So, our closing costs were around $19K.

Re: sorry if this is very personal but.....
I was told its 10% of the cost of the house but that doesnt make sense either
but i think on a 500k house its 15k

If it's 10% of the cost of my house, we're in HUGE trouble!

You pay this at closing.. so basically, the way I look at it is to take your 'downpayment', subtract 20,000; and thats your REAL downpayment on the house!
Yeah... its scary and upsetting.
