Summary answer: On a $600,000 home in Fredericksburg, expect buyer closing costs of roughly $12,000-$18,000 (about 2-3% of purchase price), before prepaid items like taxes and insurance. Worth noting: $600,000 sits above Fredericksburg's own median of $475,000-$538,000, so this reflects a higher-end purchase, like some Downtown Fredericksburg inventory.

Why Fredericksburg's own city tax rate matters here
At $0.85 per $100 of assessed value (combining the $0.84 real estate rate and $0.01 fire tax), Fredericksburg's rate is meaningfully lower than Fairfax County's $1.1225 — a real, genuine savings worth factoring into your prepaid escrow amount at closing.
