As a rough guide, buyer closing costs often run about 2%–5% of the price, so on $300,000 that's roughly $6,000–$15,000 — separate from your down payment. The exact figure depends on your loan, lender, and the contract.
As a ballpark, buyer closing costs in Florida often land around 2% to 5% of the purchase price, so on a $300,000 home you might budget roughly $6,000 to $15,000 — and that's on top of your down payment.
