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.

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.
