Traditionally in real estate sales, the seller pays most of the cost of the transaction. Typical costs can be real estate commissions for both the buyer’s and seller’s agents, title insurance, escrow fees, real estate taxes, and often even fees for the buyer’s new loan!

Typically, these costs run about 10% of the negotiated selling price...sometimes more.  If a FHA buyer is involved, it could cost the seller an additional 3%! That means that for every $100,000 in the selling price, between $10,000 and $13,000 will be taken out of your pocket at closing. $10,000 to $13,000 per hundred is a bitter pill for any property owner to swallow.  No wonder many sellers simply cannot afford to sell under these conditions.

If you’ve bought your property with 100% financing in the last 5 to 10 years, most likely, you don’t have enough equity to cover the minimum closing cost, let alone all the new stuff that is getting piled on. Even if you put up a 5% or 10% down payment at the time you bought the property, you still may be “underwater” due to declining markets and no or negative appreciation.
