Traditionally in real estate sales, the seller pays for most of the Closing Costs of the transaction. Typical closing costs can be real estate commissions for both the buyer’s and seller’s agents, title insurance, escrow fees, real estate taxes, and often even fees for the buyer’s new loan.

In most cases, these Closing Costs will be in the range of 10% or more of the negotiated selling price. In today’s economy, money is tight for everyone. Particularly with FHA buyers, an additional 3% can be negotiated and come out of your sales proceeds. For every $100,000 in the selling price, between $10,000 and $13,000 will be taken out of your proceeds at closing. $10,000 to $13,000 is a bitter pill to swallow for any home owner!

No wonder many sellers simply cannot afford to sell under these conditions. If you’ve bought your home with 100% financing in the last 5 to 10 years you most likely don’t have enough equity to cover these closing costs. And even if you’ve put up a 5% or 10% down payment, you may still be “under water” due to the declining markets and no appreciation.
