How We Calculate Virginia Home Sale Costs

Transfer Taxes

VA Grantor's Tax: Virginia levies a flat 0.10% transfer tax, customarily paid by the seller.

Source notes: Grantor's tax $0.50/$500 (0.10%) seller-side only; recordation $0.25/$100 (0.25%) is buyer-side and not modeled here.

Title & Escrow

Title insurance custom: In Virginia, title insurance is typically paid by the buyer. Title policies protect against title defects discovered after closing; the lender requires their own policy regardless of who pays. The analyzer's estimate ($500 base + $4.50 per $1,000 over $100K) is calibrated against ALTA / TIRSA filings — real rates vary by carrier.

Closing protocol: Virginia uses a hybrid model — closings can be handled by either a title company or attorney depending on county and contract.

Tax Proration & Cycles

Billing cycle: Virginia bills property taxes in hybrid. Hybrid cycles split billing across two installments; the analyzer defaults to the dominant component for a conservative seller estimate.

Closing Protocol

Virginia attorney/escrow fees typically range $400-$900 based on transaction complexity and locality. The analyzer defaults to the midpoint of this range for hybrid states; override the default in the Advanced Disclosure if your closing agent quotes outside the typical range.

Typical Virginia seller closing costs

In Virginia, sellers typically pay around 8-10% of sale price in closing costs — agent commission (5-6%), va grantor's tax (0.10%), title insurance (buyer-paid), hybrid closing fees, and hybrid property-tax proration.
