We didn't buy a preowned home but from previous experience in Florida, two major closing costs are traditionally borne by the seller. One is for state documentary stamps ($7.00 per thousand as of last year). The other is for title policy insurance (in the range of $5.40 per thousand). Of course, amenties, assessment fees, and taxes would be prorated.
