Closing costs are the extra costs of buying beyond the purchase price.

In some cases, sellers, builders, or programs can help pay them.

What applies depends on the deal, the loan, and the buyer's situation.
When I ask people whether they'd rather have a lower rate or help with closing costs, most of them pick closing costs. Here's why that's smart.
Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. Closing costs are all the fees that come with buying a home. The lender, the title company, the appraisal, the inspection, and a few others. They add up, and they catch a lot of first-time buyers off guard.
The good news is, you don't always have to pay all of them yourself. In a lot of deals, the seller can chip in. Sometimes a builder will cover them. And there are programs that help too. It's all about asking the right way, at the right time, in your offer.
Nobody likes surprise fees. It's like ordering a burger and finding out the bun costs extra.
Reply with the word CLOSING, and I'll walk you through what yours might look like, and how to get help paying them.
