A document that provides an itemized listing of the funds that were paid at closing.
Items that appear on the statement include real estate commissions, loan fees, points,
and initial escrow (impound) amounts. Each type of expense goes on a specific numbered
line on the sheet. The totals at the bottom of the HUD-1 statement define the seller's

the form is printed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The HUD1
statement is also known as the "closing statement" or "settlement sheet."
