Closing Costs: How to Avoid a Last-Minute Surprise

Closing costs are a standard part of every home purchase, but a good real estate agent can help you avoid any unpleasant surprises

Don’t let the term “closing costs” mislead you. You’d do well to think about them before you start house-hunting, not after you’ve made an offer on your dream home. There’s one good reason for this: You might have wiped out your savings with the down payment, leaving you with no cash to pay the long list of fees associated with securing your loan.

There were 478 short sales during that period, compared to 11,744 auctions, according to the Northern…

Northeast Ohio Real Estate Market Improves

It's still a buyers' market, but there are good signs.

When “For Sale” signs sprout like toadstools in front yards, prices fall and buyers rejoice. Today, 4 ½ years after skyrocketing foreclosure rates pierced the housing bubble, Northeast Ohio buyers are still rejoicing. “Buyers are getting reasonable prices and if they’ve been protecting their credit, they’re getting very reasonable interest rates,” said Carl DeMusz, CEO of the Northern Ohio Regional Multiple Listing Service. But he’s parsed the statistics and foresees a more balanced market for sellers and buyers next year. He bases his projection on two factors charted by the NORMLS: “The majority of those contracts will go to closing, so this is a good sign” that supply is tightening, DeMusz said. “If the trends continue, next year is …
