Purchase cost review

Separate the down payment from the rest of the cash needed to close.

A buyer should understand the difference between down payment, lender costs, third-party charges, prepaid items, escrow deposits, and available credits.

Down payment

The down payment reduces the amount financed but is separate from many closing expenses.

Loan costs

Origination, underwriting, appraisal, credit, and pricing-related charges may appear in the loan estimate.

Third-party costs

Title, escrow, settlement, recording, inspections, and other services can affect the transaction.

Prepaid items

Interest, insurance, taxes, and initial escrow deposits can increase cash required at closing.

Credits

Seller or lender credits may reduce eligible costs under applicable rules.

Total cash to close

Review the entire transaction estimate before committing funds elsewhere.
