Re: closing costs...
I think they say 3-5% of the cost of the house. However, I always round up..so when it's time to buy our house...I'm making sure I have 20,000. therefore, when i have money leftover..it will feel good!

Re: closing costs...
I think 3% for closing costs is a good estimate, the killer is the escrow-pre-paid real estate taxes which depending on the taxes could be pretty substantial

Re: closing costs...
If you are working with someone for a mortgage they can prepare an estimate of closing costs so you can see the breakdown, its helpful to give them the taxes on a property that you are interested in
