      What costs will I have to pay at a mortgage closing?

      Closing costs include a number of fees and will vary based on your agreement, your loan, your lender and even what state you live in. But you typically can expect to pay between 2 and 5 percent of the home’s purchase price to cover these costs.

      You can expect to see fees for the third parties and reports involved in your home purchase (including attorneys, couriers, title searches, inspections, appraisals, surveys, transfer records, property research, underwriting and more), and you also may have to pay for any upcoming property taxes.

      Insurance also plays a large role in closing costs. For example, you may need to pay your premium for the first year of homeowner’s insurance at closing, as well as title insurance, and Private Mortgage Insurance (if your down payment is less than 20 percent).

      Your mortgage expert can provide an estimate of these closing costs after you apply for your mortgage.
