a concession doesn't decrease or increase your offer .. it takes away from the seller's net, your offered price will remain that way no matter how much assistance is given ... if they awarded you that 3% then you shouldn't be coming to the table with more money nor financing more it would be less. Hopefully I understood the issue correctly.
On a side note i saw you have been under contract since April, I hope your agent discussed the tax credit with you (and its recent extension) should you be a first time home buyer.

thats what I am trygin to figure out, when askign for 3% concession am I automatically increasing my offer from 275K to 283K and seller walks away with only 275K? I thought a concession was a decreased amount in offered price, but when I asked my realtor she debates that my counter offer did not include concession in final price, but original offered price cleary stated it, so I am really upset that she has not assisted me in getting assistacn w/closing costs. My total settlement costs are about 18.5K I think this is too high. My orginatioin fee is about 3.5 K, I thought there was a capped amoutn for NYS? I feel that the amoutns listed in these reports are very tricky, like getting a title the charge is 2,200?

Do you have a Good Faith Estimate from your lender? This will show you exactly were the costs are. Are you using a real estate agent that is also doing your financing? Are you are paying taxes up front for 6 months? Need more information to assist you. Talk to your lender then the agent.

I don't understand how you can be financing more than the offer for the house, especially after a downpayment of 3.5%
