Estimated Closing Costs

Your mortgage lender must disclose a good faith estimate for all settlement/closing costs. You will need a check to cover your closing costs which will probably have to be a cashier's or bank check. The title company, attorney or other entity conducting your closing will tell you the required amounts for:

·Down Payment
·Loan origination fees
·Points or loan discount fees you pay to receive a lower interest rate
·Appraisal fee
·Credit report
·Private mortgage insurance premium
·Insurance escrow for homeowners insurance - if being paid as part of the monthly mortgage payment
·Property tax escrow - if being paid as part of the month mortgage payment (Lenders keep funds for taxes and insurance in escrow accounts as they are paid with your mortgage payment, then pay the insurance and/or the property taxes for you)
·Deed recording fees
·Title insurance policy premiums
·Survey
·Inspection fees - building inspection, termites, etc.
·Notary fees
·Pro-rations for your share of costs such as utility bills and property taxes

A note about pro-rations: Because such costs are usually paid on either a monthly or yearly basis, you might have to pay a bill for services used by the sellers before they moved. Pro-ration is a way for the sellers to pay you back or for you to pay them for bills they may have paid in advance. For example, the gas company usually sends a bill each month for the gas used during the previous month. But assume you buy the home on the 6th of the month. You would owe the gas company for only the days from the 6th to the end for the month. The seller would owe for the first 5 days. The bill would be pro-rated for the number of days in the month, and then each person would be responsible for the proportionate days of his or her ownership.
