Buying a home in Austin, Texas? Your down payment is only part of what you need to budget for at closing. 🏡
Closing costs in Austin can include lender fees, title and escrow charges, appraisal costs, recording fees, insurance, taxes, and prepaid interest. Austin buyers may see closing costs around 2 to 5 percent of the purchase price depending on the loan and transaction. Some lender fees can vary and seller concessions may help reduce what you bring to closing. Your Loan Estimate gives an early breakdown while your Closing Disclosure provides the final numbers before closing day.
For early planning, setting aside roughly 3 percent of your target purchase price for closing costs in addition to your down payment is a reasonable starting point.
