We Understand What You're Going Through
The fear of closing costs is a significant obstacle for many homebuyers, with closing costs typically ranging from 2-5% of the loan amount. According to the National Association of Realtors, the average closing costs for a $300,000 home can range from $6,000 to $15,000. This unpredictability can lead to stress and uncertainty, causing some buyers to delay or even abandon their homebuying plans. In fact, a survey by the Mortgage Bankers Association found that 40% of homebuyers reported that closing costs were a major obstacle in their homebuying process.
On average, closing costs can range from 2-5% of the loan amount, which translates to $6,000 to $15,000 on a $300,000 home.
