Frequently Asked Questions

What is stamp duty / transfer tax?

Stamp duty (called transfer tax in the US) is a government tax charged when property ownership changes hands. Rates vary by state from $0 (Texas) to $7.50 per $1,000 (Connecticut). It's typically paid at closing.

Who pays transfer tax — buyer or seller?

It varies by state and local custom. In most states, the seller pays transfer tax. However, in some areas (like New York City above $1M), buyers pay additional mansion taxes. The purchase contract usually specifies who pays.

What are typical closing costs for a home purchase?

Total closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the purchase price. This includes transfer taxes, title insurance (0.5% of price), recording fees ($50-250), attorney fees ($1,500-3,000), and lender fees if financing.
