Now that you’ve decided to buy a home and are ready to make it happen, it’s a smart move to plan ahead for the typical costs that come with the homebuying process. While your down payment might be your primary concern, don’t overlook the closing costs. Here’s what you need to know.

What Are Closing Costs?
In simple terms, closing costs are additional fees and payments made when finalizing the purchase. These vary based on the price of the home and the type of financing, but every buyer faces them. Unfortunately, some people forget to budget for them. According to Freddie Mac, common closing costs include:

– Application fees
– Credit report fees
– Loan origination fees
– Appraisal fees
– Home inspection fees
– Title insurance
– Homeowners insurance
– Survey fees
– Attorney fees

Some of these are one-time expenses, while others, like homeowners insurance, are initial payments for ongoing obligations you’ll have as a homeowner.

Tips to Reduce Closing Costs
If you’re wondering how to reduce these expenses, NerdWallet offers a few suggestions:

👉🏻 Negotiate with the seller: Since homes are taking longer to sell, some sellers might be willing to cover part of your closing costs. You could ask them to pay for the home inspection or provide a credit toward your closing fees.
Shop around for homeowners insurance: Given the rise in insurance rates, it’s worth comparing different policies to find one that offers good coverage at a competitive rate.

👉🏻 Look into closing cost assistance: Programs exist to help with these fees, varying by location, income, and profession. Your real estate agent can guide you, and HUD offers a resource to find assistance programs in every state.

Planning for closing costs is essential, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right support, you can be fully prepared. Let’s connect so you have the advice you need to navigate this process smoothly.
