Are you are dreaming and shopping …for the purchase of your new home? You probably can’t wait for your closing date to come so you can get your keys and move in. You’ve got it all planned out, right?
Did you plan for closing costs?
One thing that many new buyers fail to take into consideration is that here are closing costs associated with buying a home. If you are in the home stretch, we want to help. Below is a quick guide to closing costs:
During closing, when the title of the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer, there are fees that will need to be paid. Anyone putting together a budget for the purchase of a home needs to put aside 2 to 5 percent of the loan for closing cost fees.
Some of the closing fees that might be added include:
- Attorney fee
- Credit report fee
- Escrow Deposit for Property Taxes and Mortgage Insurance
- Home Inspection
- Homeowners Insurance
- Prepaid Interest
- Property tax
- Survey fee
- Title Company Title Search
Here are some tips to help you navigate as you near the finish line:
- Keep in contact with your bank.
Closing costs vary widely based on a number of factors such as where you live and the property you buy.Talk to your lender and find out what items from the list above will need to be paid out at closing. At Wallkill Valley Savings and Loan, we are here for you from start to finish in the whole mortgage process and are happy to answer any questions you may have. - Keep your budget up to date.
