Buying or Selling a Home/closing costs

Question
We are thinking of selling our home and buying another. Moving up a little. Anyhow we would like to know what are all the costs involved on both selling and buying a home. Also can you give me a ballpark on what costs are involved with a new loan.
Thanks you  

Answer
Hi Resa,

I can't break down all the costs because they vary depending on the area.  A good rule of thumb is 7-8% selling your home and 2% buying.  You would have to get loan costs from a lender.

Hope this helps.
