Definitions of Closing Costs

Closing, Settlement, and Escrow are all terms used to describe the act of closing a home sale. In particular the meeting between lenders, buyers, sellers, agents, local government officials, and any personal legal teams involved in the transfer of a title to a property. Closing costs are imminent to any home deal. Here is a list of ordinary closing costs.
  1. Loan Organization Fee: This fee is usually equal to 1% of your mortgage.

  2. Discount Point(s): Each point is also 1% of your mortgage.

  3. Assumption Fee: Cost incurred to transferring current mortgage to your name.

  4. Cost of Title Search: Mandatory to ensure you are buying the property from the current owner.

  5. Lender's Title Insurance Fee:

  6. Survey Fee(if Applicable): The cost of surveying your property if not done already.

  7. Transfer Tax: State and/or Local taxes, stamps etc. for property transfer of ownership. This fee is sometimes split among the buyers and sellers.

  8. Lender's Appraisal Fee:

  9. Recording Fees: Cost of turning closing documents into public records.

  10. Prepaid Mortgage Interest: Interest due between your first payment and closing.

  11. Prepaid Mortgage Insurance Premium: First payment

  12. Homeowners Hazard Insurance Premium: First Payment

  13. Property Tax Escrows
