Costs & Fees

Cash to Close

Cash to Close is the total amount of money a borrower must bring to the closing table to complete the transaction.

This amount typically includes the down payment, closing costs, prepaid items such as taxes and insurance, and any remaining fees not covered by credits or financing.

Cash to Close is disclosed on the Closing Disclosure and should not be confused with the down payment alone.

Why This Matters: Many buyers underestimate this number. Reviewing it early — and understanding where each dollar goes — prevents last-minute stress before closing.
