What are closing costs for home sellers? ready to pay for their time, however. Attorney fees can range between $150 to $500 per hour for a good lawyer.
Ben Mizes WEALTH OF GEEKS With the current seller’s market, along with high demand and loe inventory, many homeowners are dabbling with the idea of putting their house up for sale. But beware - if you’re ready to find an agent and list your home for sale, there are many hidden fees involved with selling a home that you will want to be prepared for ahead of time. You want to avoid surprises in the home-selling process and understand the ins and outs of closing costs for sellers - from what’s included to how to negotiate a better deal. For starters, closing costs are the various fees paid - some by the buyer, some by the seller, in order to finalize the home buying transaction. Many people are aware of closing costs for buyers but may not realize what is entailed in sellers’ closing costs. Here are a few fees for homeowners to watch out for as they prepare to close on a deal.
Outstanding bills and liens It is up to the seller to pay for prorated items such as property tax and utilities. The seller usually must pay these up to the sale date, at which point the buyer takes over the costs. Sellers will also be responsible for outstanding judgment or liens on the property before moving forward with the deal.

Average long-term US mortgage rates retreat this week ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Average longterm U.S. mortgage rates eased again this week as the Federal Reserve remains likely to raise its benchmark borrowing rate in its ongoing battle to bring down inflation. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate fell to 5.30% from 5.70% last week. One year ago the average 30-year rate was 2.90%. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, fell to 4.45% from 4.83% from last week. A year ago, the rate was 2.26%. The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate last month by three-quarters of a point, the biggest single hike since 1994. In notes from its meeting released Wednesday, Fed policymakers signaled that much higher interest rates could be needed to reign in four-decade high inflation. They also acknowledged that their rate hikes could weaken the economy, but suggested that such steps were necessary to slow price increases back to the Fed’s 2% annual target. The Fed’s unusually large rate hike came after government data showed U.S. inflation rose in May to a four-decade high of 8.6%. The Fed’s benchmark short-term rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, will now be pegged to a range of 1.5% to 1.75% — and Fed policymakers forecast a doubling of that range by year’s end.

This impartial third party, aka the escrow company, charges a fee for their services in setting up escrow. Typically, these fees are split 50-50 between buyer and seller and vary depending on where the property is located. Attorney fees Real estate transactions are complicated, and a seller’s attorney will help them wade through the paperwork and ensure they do not fall victim to any loopholes. Although buyers and sellers are not required to hire an attorney in some states, it is still a good idea to hire one to look over the final contract. Please make sure you are
And they will also have to pay off the remainder of their mortgage and accrued interest to move out officially. All of these costs can add up quickly, so it’s important to track your spending and try to stick to a budget. How to lower your closing costs
Home sellers can take several avenues to save money on their closing costs, especially in a seller’s market. When there are low inventory and high demand, How to calculate closing homeowners have more leverage costs in the negotiation process and may The average closing costs for even ask the buyer to cover certain sellers range between 8% to 10% of costs.
