What Closing Costs Should I Plan for When Buying a Home?

Residential home planning scene

Plan for lender and settlement charges, applicable taxes, prepaid expenses, and any initial escrow deposit, in addition to your down payment. The Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure show your transaction’s amounts.

Know where the money goes

Ask the lender and settlement provider which charges you can compare. Your costs depend on the loan, property, service providers, and negotiated credits.

Review changes before closing

Review the Closing Disclosure against your earlier Loan Estimate. Ask about any changes and confirm the final cash needed. Keep moving costs and a maintenance cushion separate from the closing budget.
