Breaking Down Mortgage Closing Costs

Whether you are buying a home or are refinancing, there are fees required to finalize the loan. We lump all these together and call them closing costs. With refinance loans, the closing costs are a bit less because certain elements are missing (such as title fees, home appraisal fees, and other sale-related fees).

This article will focus on the closing costs that you can expect to pay when you buy a property.

How much can you expect to pay in closing costs? 

Closing costs are about 2% to 5% of your loan amount. So if your loan is for $250k, you can expect to pay about $5,000 and $12,500 in closing costs. Admittedly, this is a fairly large range but we’ll break down the costs so you can have a better understanding of why it varies so much.

Signs it's Time to Upgrade Your Home

The home you own now will likely always remain special to you. After all, you selected it from dozens of others on the market. You’ll always remember the jitters of shopping for such a big-ticket item, the triumph of moving in after signing, and perhaps the first time you had the extended family over to your own home for the holidays. 

Whether this is your starter home or the home in which you raised your family, it’s natural that you’ve gone back and forth trying to decide whether you really need to sell and move on. For most homeowners, though, the day does ultimately arrive when it’s time to upgrade from a starter home to a home that’s better suited for their long-term lifestyle goals.
