Underwriting estimates for single-family residence (SFR) transactions, all 50 states + DC. Updated November 2026.
Each figure = a uniform base + that state's transfer and mortgage taxes. These are model outputs for quick underwriting, not survey data.
- Buyer = 3.5% base + buyer-side taxes. Financed purchase at 80% loan-to-value (LTV). Base covers lender fees (~1%), lender's title and settlement (~0.6%), prepaids and escrows (~1.2%), plus cushion. Mortgage taxes are applied to the loan amount.
- Seller = 7.3% base + seller-side taxes. Base is 6% total commissions (both sides) plus ~1.3% for title, settlement, prorations and concessions cushion.
