Estimate only. It excludes inspections, moving expenses, reserves, and transaction-specific adjustments. Deposits and credits cannot reduce the result below zero.

Common buyer costs

A financed Massachusetts purchase can include lender charges, appraisal and credit fees, attorney and title services, title insurance, recording charges, prepaid interest, homeowners insurance, and initial tax or insurance escrow deposits.

  • Loan origination charges and optional discount points
  • Appraisal and lender-required services
  • Attorney, title search, and title insurance
  • Recording and government charges
  • Prepaid interest, insurance, taxes, and escrow reserves

Closing costs versus cash to close

The CFPB defines total closing costs separately from cash to close. Cash to close starts with the down payment and costs, then accounts for deposits already paid, seller or lender credits, loan proceeds, and prorations.

Get a useful estimate

Request Loan Estimates from multiple lenders using the same price, down payment, rate type, and lock assumptions. Ask your closing attorney about title and recording charges. Recheck the Closing Disclosure before closing and ask about any material change.

  • Keep inspection and moving costs outside the closing-cost bucket
  • Do not spend reserves after pre-approval without telling the lender
  • Verify wiring instructions by calling a known phone number
  • Keep a buffer for tax and condominium adjustments
