Buyer Closing Cost Estimator – Bellingham WA

BUYER CLOSING COSTS

What you’ll need at closing.

Estimate a Bellingham buyer’s closing costs and total cash to close. Every line is editable — these are typical Washington defaults, but your Loan Estimate is the real source. (Note: in WA the seller pays the real estate excise tax, so it’s not a buyer cost.)

Estimate only. Actual closing costs come from your lender’s Loan Estimate and the title/escrow company; some are negotiable or can be seller-credited. Down payment is shown separately and included in cash to close. Want help getting these credited or reduced? That’s part of what I negotiate.

Before and after closing

Closing costs are just one line in the budget. Size up the loan itself with the mortgage payment calculator, and make sure the price fits with the affordability calculator. Selling at the same time? In Washington the seller pays the excise tax — estimate it and your take-home on the REET and net-proceeds calculator. The full walk-through is in the Bellingham buyer’s guide. See all calculators →
