Closing Costs in Mississippi: Who Pays What
A plain breakdown of buyer and seller closing costs in Mississippi real estate transactions.
5 min read
Closing costs surprise people more than any other part of a transaction. Here is what each side typically covers in Mississippi, and what is negotiable.
Typical buyer costs
Loan origination and lender fees, appraisal, credit report, title work and title insurance, recording fees, prepaid taxes and insurance, and escrow setup. Buyers frequently ask sellers to contribute toward these, and in many deals sellers do.
Typical seller costs
Real estate commission, deed preparation, any agreed repairs or credits, prorated property taxes, payoff of existing loans, and sometimes buyer closing cost help negotiated into the contract.
What's negotiable
Almost all of it. Who pays what is a term in the contract, not a law. That is exactly why the negotiation matters more than the headline price.
