What are closing costs?? They're additional fees and payments you make when finalizing your home purchase. Typically they include things like:
Homeowner insurance
Title insurance
Loan application
Credit report
Loan origination
Home appraisal
Home inspection
Property survey
Attorney
And every buyer has them so be sure to figure them into you home buying costs.

Saving to buy a home? Don’t forget your closing costs.

They’re not the same everywhere. In some states they average roughly $2-3K. In others, nearly $20K.

This map shows the state averages. Use it as a ballpark for your budget, but be sure to work with a local agent and lender to get your real number before you start shopping. Because it depends on taxes where you live, the home’s price, and more.

DM me if you want an estimate on what you can expect to pay in our area. Or, if you’re looking for tips on how to bring that number down.
