The best answer to this question is that every seller is different. It really depends on their personal circumstances as to whether of not they can afford to pay some of your costs. If the seller is motivated and is able then they will often negotiate until you have both reached an agreement.
Whenever you are purchasing a home, everything in the contract offer is up for negotiation. Honestly there is really not a straight forward answer to your question , but all I can say is it's a buyer's market right now and closing costs are being paid.
