Does a real estate contract become void if the buyer does not show on closing day?
It doesn't become void unless the other party wants to void the contract. The seller can use that failure to show up at the closing to void the contract but there are further consequences for the buyer. Not showing up for the closing is a breach of the contract and generally the seller can keep any deposit as long as that provision was recited in the sales contract. You should consult with an attorney.It doesn't become void unless the other party wants to void the contract.

Asking a seller to pay half of closing cost is this a rarity or common practice?
I am in the mortgage industry 23 years. My experience has taught me that a Veteran can have the seller pay the closing costs on the buyers behalf. But if you have a savy realtor who can get a seller to sign the purchase contract which states the seller will pay $5,000.00 of the buyers closing costs, it is allowable provided the purchase contract clearly states what the seller agreed to pay on the buyers behalf. I recommend you put a dollar figure (such as $5,000.00) rather than stating "seller to pay buyers closing costs" because the seller will know up front what he is expected to pay on your behalf and won't freak out at time of closing. If the seller does not agree to pay any of your closing costs, you may still benefit from purchasing the home in other ways. Be creative. Include in the contract that a home warranty covering the roof, the pipes, the waterheater, or the A/C unit, kitchen appliances, any pre-existing structure damage be repaired and defects in electrical wiring be covered for 3 or 5 years, and ask the seller to pay from the proceeds so it is the seller's expense. Or ask the seller for new appliances, or get a new A/C unit as a condition of the purchase. Do not ask for too much though, and inform your Realtor of your desires so s/he can do the bargaining for you. After all, they are the professionals. Oh yeah, this is a biggy. If you are not comfortable with your realtor, find one who makes you comfortable. It does matter how they treat you and remember, a good realtor will be comfortable to do business with.

What is the difference between purchase agreement and closing on a house?
A purchase agreement is, well, an agreement to purchase a property. It sets the price the buyer will pay to the seller. "Closing" on a house is signing all the paperwork (and there is a lot of it!). This includes not only the purchase price, but all the fees associated with a property transfer -- title searches, taxes and the like, the details of the mortgage (the agreement between the purchaser and the lending institution), the commission to be paid to the real estate agent, etc. All that stuff in addition to the actual purchase price is "closing costs" and there is usually a separate agreement specifying which of these costs will be paid by the buyer and which by the seller. You can get writer's cramp signing all the papers at a closing!
