We bought a resale last year--no mortgage involved--with the closing handled by a paralegal at McLin & Burnsed in LSL, and if I recall correctly out total closing costs were $25 (half the fee for recording the new deed). The sellers were responsible for the other half plus title search, title insurance, McLin & Burnsed fee, and whatever else I can't remember offhand. We also had the plus of buying a four-year-old home on which the sellers had paid off the bond in full at the time they had purchased new. These are only some of the pluses to buying a resale rather than new. We also have grown orange and lemon trees that are loaded with fruit--yum!!!
