What Are Buyer Closing Costs?

Closing costs are the fees associated with finalizing your mortgage and transferring ownership. In Santa Clarita, buyer closing costs typically range from 2% to 3% of the purchase price.

Common Costs Include:

  • Loan origination and underwriting fees
  • Title insurance and escrow fees
  • Appraisal and credit report fees
  • Recording fees and transfer taxes
  • Prepaid taxes and insurance premiums

For a $750,000 home, that’s roughly $15,000–$22,500 in closing costs.

Can You Lower or Offset These Costs?

  • Ask about lender credits or promotions
  • Negotiate seller concessions to cover some costs
  • Use first-time buyer grants or closing cost assistance programs
