Closing Costs for a Cash Home

Profile picture for karlkamyo9
I'm paying 93K cash for a home in Lansdowne, PA.  What should my closing costs be? And I was told that the funds have to be be in the bank for 90 days before the home can be purchased. Is that true?

It doesn't seem to make sense to require cash in the bank for 90days on a cash sale- unless there is some critical information we are just missing that just sounds like doesn't apply.  I'd get some representation on your side to seek clarification on that- or talk with a title company.   Since it's cash there is no one requireing you to purchase title insurance but it's HIGHLY recommended.

Hi. Closing costs for a cash sale should be 1% transfer tax ($930), title insurance ($817), property tax reimbursement to seller (for taxes already paid through the end of the year) and maybe a few hundred extra for deed recording and other minor fees. The 90 day thing makes no sense for a cash deal.

Not much!  Transfer tax...hoa reserve account fees when you purchase in a community governed by HOA...title transfer fees.

Remember to purchase property insurance after it conveys title to you.
