How Much Will Closing Costs Be On my Home Loan?

Question: Lizette, I'm preparing to get ready to start looking at homes soon. I know that I will need to get pre-approved with a lender first to see how much house I can buy and what the payments will be. I'm not too sure about the closing costs. Do you have an idea what it will be? I want to start saving my money now. Daniel F.

closing costsAnswer: Daniel, I'm glad you asked me about this. The costs can be confusing. Here is an estimate of what a standard closing cost and standard fee might be:

 

  • Origination Fee                                  Up to 1%
  • Appraisal Fee                                    $350 - $550

  • Attorney Fees                                    $150 - $450
  • Settlement Fee                                  $350 - $500
  • Notary Fee                                         $125 - $225
  • Flood Determination Fee                     $20 - $50
  • Courier/Overnight Delivery Fee             $0 - $35
