The basics

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are the fees to finish your purchase and your loan. They're separate from your down payment.

The exact amount depends on your price, your loan type, and what we negotiate in the contract. Your lender is required to give you a Loan Estimate after you apply, and a Closing Disclosure before closing, so you'll see the numbers in writing.

Common buyer costs

  • Lender fees and appraisal
  • Title and closing fees
  • Florida taxes on the mortgage
  • Prepaid homeowners insurance and property taxes
  • Home inspection (paid before closing)
