Closing Costs
First, What Are Closing Costs?
Closing costs are those costs that must be paid at closing; the point of your sale at which ownership of the house officially changes hands. These costs include things like attorney’s fees, the real estate agent’s commission, and taxes. Some closing costs are fixed amounts, while others are a percentage of the price of the house or property. These costs can also range in price (being either higher or lower) depending on whom you hire and your unique circumstances or situation.
While it can be difficult to define a precise estimate of the associated closing fees ahead of time, once you know the details of the sale, you should be able to calculate a closely representative accounting of what you can expect.
Typical Closing Costs for Sellers in Massachusetts
Closing costs vary somewhat from one state to another. As noted, which of these costs the seller is responsible for also varies from sale to sale.
In Massachusetts, there are five major closing costs typically paid by the seller:
- The real estate agent’s commission, usually 5% to 6% of the price of the home.
- The real estate attorney’s fee, usually between $800 and $1100.
- State excise tax stamps, set at roughly 0.456% of the price of the home.
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detector certificate, roughly $50-$100.
- Septic expenses (if applicable), roughly $800.
Usually, there are about $350 of other charges that add up as well, such as discharging any remaining mortgage or the safe, overnight delivery of documents, and, if you are a member of a homeowners association, any fees related to transfer of membership.
Let’s look more closely at these five charges.
Getting The Best Price For Your Home
Effective marketing is the key to selling your home quickly and getting the highest price. Aggressive, effective marketing of my client’s homes by every available medium is how I have become a successful real estate professional. It is my job to assure that you get as many qualified offers as possible, allowing you to extract the highest price the market will bear.
One of the most important elements of marketing your home effectively is setting the price right. Set the price too high, and you won’t get any offers and your home will take too long to sell. Set it too low and you cheat yourself by not getting your home’s full, fair value. As a real estate expert, I analyze the market and set area home prices every single day. I’ll work closely with you to assure that everything possible is done to get the highest price, in the time frame you need.
