Summary answer: On a $600,000 home in West Falls Church, 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 below West Falls Church's own median of $706,000-$755,000, so this scenario applies more to condo inventory than the typical single-family purchase.

Why Fairfax County's tax rate matters here

At $1.1225 per $100 of assessed value, Fairfax County's rate applies to West Falls Church — worth factoring into your prepaid escrow amount at closing. This is meaningfully lower than the independent City of Falls Church's separate rate, so confirm which jurisdiction your target property actually sits in.
