Information
Closing Costs
On the day you actually buy your new home, in addition to your down
payment and the prepaid property tax and homeowners insurance premiums,
you'll need cash for various fees associated with the purchase. These
expenses are known as closing costs and are paid by both buyers and
sellers.
Some closing costs you pay up-front when you apply for a mortgage loan.
That includes money for a credit check on all applicants and an appraisal
on the property. Keep in mind that even if you don't eventually receive
the loan, that money is not refundable.
