HUD-1 Settlement Statement

Definition: The HUD-1 Settlement Statement is a standardized form that itemizes all charges and credits to buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction. It details loan terms, closing costs, prorated taxes, title fees, and other financial adjustments made at settlement. While it was once required for most residential real estate transactions, it has largely been replaced by the Closing Disclosure under newer federal regulations. However, the HUD-1 is still used in certain cases, such as reverse mortgages and specific cash transactions.
