What does this mean?

Your closing costs exceed 5% of the purchase price. Consider negotiating seller concessions, shopping lenders for lower fees, or asking about lender credits in exchange for a slightly higher rate.

What Are Buyer Closing Costs?

Buyer closing costs are the fees and expenses you pay on top of the purchase price when buying a home. They typically range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price, though they can vary significantly by location and loan type.

Lender fees include the origination fee (what the lender charges to process your loan), discount points (prepaid interest to buy down your rate), the appraisal, and credit report.

Title & escrow costs cover title insurance, the title search, settlement agent fees, recording the deed with the county, and any transfer taxes. These vary widely by state.

Prepaids & reserves are costs you pay upfront: your first year of homeowner's insurance, per-diem mortgage interest from closing day to month-end, and escrow reserves.

Pro tip: You can often negotiate seller concessions — especially in a buyer's market. FHA allows up to 6% in seller concessions, conventional typically allows 3–6% depending on down payment.
