Why are closing costs high in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire levies a real-estate transfer (deed) tax, which is the single biggest reason its closing costs run above the national norm. Transfer taxes are charged on the sale price, so they scale with how expensive the home is and can add thousands to a buyer's bill.
Who pays closing costs in New Hampshire, the buyer or the seller?
Both sides have closing costs. This calculator estimates the BUYER's costs. Sellers separately pay agent commissions and often part of the transfer tax. In many deals buyers negotiate "seller concessions" so the seller covers some buyer closing costs — always confirm who pays what in your purchase contract.
