Closing Costs on a Three Hundred Thousand Dollar Home
See your planning range before you make an offer.
Direct answer
For a $300,000 home in Washington, buyers often plan for $6,000 to $9,000 in closing costs. This is a two percent to three percent range. It is not an exact quote. Your total depends on your loan, lender, and closing date. Learn how closing costs are calculated.
Your $300,000 Home Closing Cost Range
Two percent of $300,000 is $6,000. Three percent is $9,000. Plan for a range between these numbers. This is a common guideline. It is not a fee list for your address. Your lender's Loan Estimate shows your real numbers. See the Washington buyer closing cost overview.
What the estimate includes
Loan and lender fees
Your lender may charge origination charges. These include application, underwriting, processing, verification, and rate-lock fees. You may also pay for an appraisal and lender's title insurance. These are separate costs, not part of origination charges.
Escrow, title, and recording
Closing costs often include escrow or settlement fees and recording fees. You can shop for some of these services. Your Loan Estimate shows which ones. Prepaid interest may also appear here.
Insurance and tax reserves
Lenders often collect money for homeowners insurance and property taxes at closing. You pick your homeowners insurance company. Local government sets property taxes. Check the amount for your address.
What changes the final number
Your loan type, property, lender, closing date, credits, and contract terms all change your total. Washington buyers usually do not pay real estate excise tax. Sellers usually pay it. If they don't, buyers pay it instead. Compare a $400,000 home or use the calculator.
Calculate your cash to close
Your cash to close is your down payment plus closing costs. Subtract any deposit you paid, seller credits, and other adjustments. Closing costs are separate from your down payment. Run your numbers before you make an offer on a $300,000 home.
