Understanding Closing Costs

Lender Fees

These include the loan origination fee, appraisal, credit report, and underwriting costs. The origination fee is typically around 1% of the loan amount and covers the lender's cost of processing your mortgage.

Title and Escrow

Title insurance protects you and the lender against any disputes over property ownership. Escrow fees cover the setup of your tax and insurance reserve accounts that are managed alongside your mortgage payment.

Government Fees

Recording fees are charged by your local government to record the deed and mortgage. Transfer taxes vary significantly by state and can be a major cost in some areas. Some states have no transfer tax at all.

Prepaid Items

You will typically prepay homeowners insurance for the first year and several months of property taxes to establish your escrow account. Prepaid interest covers the days between closing and your first mortgage payment.

Important Note

Closing costs typically range from 2% to 5% of the home price. This calculator provides estimates only. Actual costs depend on your lender, location, loan type, and negotiation with the seller. Your Loan Estimate will provide a detailed breakdown of actual expected costs.
