WISDOM WEDNESDAY: Understanding your loan...What are Closing Costs?
When you're saving up to buy a home, it’s easy to focus entirely on that down payment number. But don’t forget to budget for closing costs!
Typically ranging from 2% to 5% of the loan amount, closing costs cover the essentials behind the scenes, such as:
- Appraisals (making sure the home is worth the price)
- Title work & Attorney fees (ensuring the home is legally yours)
- Lender fees & Escrow setups (taxes and insurance)
Remember - Every loan scenario is unique, and sometimes we can even negotiate to have the seller cover a portion of these costs.
