What is the average for closing costs?
Closing cost for buyer or for seller? There are some big fees with Title Insurance, Escrow, Lender etc. Your local title company can give you ball park figures based on purchase price. Everything is negotiable and certain regions of the country and states do things customary, i.e. seller may pay county transfer tax but buyer pays for title and escrow or those fees might be split 50/50. If you are a buyer your lender can let you know what to expect and if you are a seller your title company can ball park some of the stardard fees. Also, there may be a fee for any real estate agent if one is used paid by the seller.
