If you’re planning to sell your Santa Clarita home, understanding your closing costs is key to estimating your net proceeds. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect.

Common Seller Closing Costs

  • Real estate commissions
  • Escrow and title fees (around 1% of the sale price)
  • Natural Hazard Disclosure (NHD) report (approx. $100–150)
  • Transfer taxes (County transfer tax $1.10 per thousand, Santa Clarita has no transfer tax)
  • Home warranty (optional) if offered to the buyer
  • HOA document fees if the home is in a community association

Additional Costs to Consider

  • Repair credits or concessions negotiated during escrow
  • Outstanding property taxes or liens
  • Termite clearance or repairs, if required

Local Tip

Santa Clarita sellers can often negotiate who pays what—especially in a strong seller’s market. An experienced local agent can guide you through each line item.
