Does someone take possession of property when contract is signed?
Signing a contract does not automatically transfer possession of property; possession typically occurs when the parties fulfill the terms of the contract, such as closing on a real estate transaction.

Until those conditions are met, the original owner usually retains possession. It’s important to review the specific terms of the contract to understand the timeline and process for possession.

Usually the "bottom line" of a mortgage does not include interest. It does include closing costs and other costs involved with the mortgage, though usually not including home insurance or property tax estimates.
Who pays property tax at closing?
At closing, property taxes are typically prorated between the buyer and seller based on the closing date. The seller usually pays property taxes up to the date of closing, while the buyer assumes responsibility for taxes from that point forward. The exact amounts are calculated and included in the closing statement, ensuring that both parties pay their fair share for the time they occupy the property during the tax period.

When renegotiating conscessions in a real estate contract gets convoluted?
Remember to a seller they want to know what their 'net' price is on a sale of real estate property. So however you negotiate such things as closing cost concessions or any credits or share of repair costs for the property, it means less monies for the seller. Simpler is better in a real estate contract. In a hot market, concessions requested may put you as a buyer at a disadvantage in obtaining the property. In a slower selling market, as a buyer you may have more leverage to request closing cost credits or repairs being done prior to closing. A knowledgeable real estate agent should be able to guide you well in either market.
