What Are Some of the costs of puchasing a home?
Buyer’s Agent Commission
The buyer's agent commission is a fee paid to the agent who represents the buyer in a real estate transaction. This fee is usually a percentage of the final sale price and is often included in the total purchase price of the home. It compensates the agent for their role in finding suitable properties, negotiating the purchase, and assisting with the buying process.
Inspection Cost
A home inspection is crucial for identifying any issues with the property. This typically ranges from $300 to $700+, depending on the home’s size and location and the additional tests you choose to do.
Appraisal Cost
An appraisal determines the property’s market value and is required by your lender. Expect to pay between $400 and $600 for this service.
Admin Fee
This fee covers administrative tasks by your agent or broker, such as document processing and recording. It usually ranges from $200 to $500, depending on your agent and their office.
Closing Cost
These are the various fees and expenses associated with finalizing your home purchase. They typically range from 3% to 4% of the purchase price and include title fees, recording fees, and more.
Downpayment
The down payment is the upfront portion of the home’s purchase price that you pay out of pocket. It can range from 3% to 20% of the total cost, depending on your loan type and financial situation.
