Did I overpay on closing costs?
As I'm trying to come up with estimated closing costs to run the numbers on potential deals, I'm trying to turn a more critical eye to the closing costs from buying my personal home last year. It turns out that I paid significantly higher than the $3k-$7k range I'm reading as typical.
Roughly $6k of my costs were a combination of escrow (which I guess are not usually included in discussion of "closing costs"?) and buyer's agent fee (which I know is typically paid by the seller), but discounting those costs still puts me at ~$8k, which is on the higher end.
Do you guys see any costs in the pictures below that I should be able to negotiate down the next time around?
If it's relevant info, I bought the home off-market in Churchville, PA for $320k with a 22% down payment. Spring of 2017.
Thanks!
