Summary answer: On a $600,000 home in the City of Fairfax, expect buyer closing costs of roughly $12,000-$18,000 (about 2-3% of purchase price), before prepaid items like taxes and insurance. This is a realistic scenario for the city's condo and entry-tier inventory, since $600,000 sits below the city's own median of $717,000-$775,000.

Why the City of Fairfax's own tax rate matters here
At $1.055 per $100 of assessed value, the City of Fairfax's rate is genuinely its own — separate from and slightly lower than Fairfax County's $1.1225 rate, despite the identical name. Confirming which jurisdiction your target property sits in matters for an accurate estimate.
