Be prepared and know who’s responsible for the variety of fees and expenses at the closing table.
Closing Costs Include:
Down payment
Loan origination
Points paid to receive a lower interest rate
Home inspection
Appraisal
Credit report
Mortgage insurance premium
Escrow for homeowners insurance (if paid as part of the mortgage*)
Property tax escrow (if paid as part of the mortgage*)
Deed recording
Title insurance policy premiums
Land survey
Notary fees
Home warranty
Proration** for your share of costs (such as utility bills and property taxes)
* Lenders keep funds for taxes and insurance in escrow accounts as they are paid with the mortgage, then pay the insurance or taxes for you.
** Because such costs are usually paid on either a monthly or a yearly basis, you might have to pay a bill for services used by the sellers before they moved. Proration is a way to even out bills sellers may have paid in advance, or that you may later pay for services they used.
