How Much Are Seller Closing Costs?

On average, sellers in Fort Worth can expect to pay around 6%–10% of the home’s sale price in total closing costs. This varies based on the agreement with your Realtor®, local tax rates, and HOA requirements.

Title Insurance in Texas

In Texas, it’s customary for the seller to pay for the owner’s title policy, which protects the buyer from future ownership disputes. Rates are set by the state based on the home’s sale price.

Prorated Taxes and HOA Fees

You’ll pay property taxes for the portion of the year you owned the home. If your home is in an HOA, you may also owe prorated dues and a transfer fee.

Negotiable Costs

Some costs, such as home warranties or certain repairs, can be negotiated with the buyer. Annie helps you determine where you can save money while still keeping your deal strong.
