On average, what percentage of a loan do closing costs make up?

There is no "Average"... If your purchasing or refinancing, the costs will be different.. Some of the costs associated with a mortgage are "Fixed".. Meaning, if you purchase a $50K home or a $550K home, the cost is the same.. Other fee's are "Variable".. Meaning they will be based on the property value, or loan amount... Also, depending on if your refinancing or purchasing, you can get contributions to your costs either from the seller, RE agent, or lender, which would lower the fee's you pay.. You should stop guessing and contact a local mortgage and have them look at your complete scenario.. That's the only way to be accurate..

In the mortgage loan broker world it will vary depending upon the following factors: 1) Which lender it is placed with 2) Whether the broker is paid by you the consumer (called Borrower Paid Loan B.P.C.) or a by the lender (Lender Paid Compensation L.P.C.), and 3) The State and location of the property. The best way to shop for a loan is to look the Truth-in-Lending Document and compare the A.P.R. (not the actual rate). Whomever has the lowest A.P.R. wins.

All loans have closing costs. The percentage of actual costs will vary by the loan amount and rate choices you make. Some costs are fixed, like the appraisal and credit report no matter what the loan amount - while others are based upon the loan amount, like origination, state taxes, and some title company fees. Once base overall costs are determined, now it is a matter of your choice on what rate you'd like, and how you want to pay for the costs. For example, lets say your base closing costs are $5000, and that equates into a 3.50% interest rate. But you are a little short on cash to close, so instead you opt to take a 4% rate, which equates to just $500 in closing costs. You can go the other way too... Assume you'd like a 3.00% interest rate. No problem, you'll have you base $5000 cost plus maybe $5000 more in discount points for a total of $10,000. These of course are just examples, but you can see how there really is no way to answer your question, as there is no general answer. It depends on many items...

That is different on every loan. We have programs that have no closing cost. Give me call at 317 713 9533.

That is a bit difficult to answer not knowing the loan amount. Some lenders charge an origination fee of 1% plus additional admin fees. You'll also have roughly $900 in title/escrow on a refinance or between $1500-$2000 on a purchase. For specifice costs feel free to call.-Jerry 253.631.2212

William's answer is very accurate. One rule of thumb.... interest rates and costs work inversely. The lower a lender's costs are means that the interest rate is higher. You could also increase your costs (and pay points) to buy down the rate.

The "average" on a conventional refinance is approx $1800-$2500, depending on your loan amount and other factors. Government loans and Purchases will be higher. You can choose to pay those fees yourself, or have them paid on your behalf in the form of a higher rate.Give me a call and we can discuss your situation.

If you were to place an offer on a foreclosure the selling bank would assume max 3%.

It would best be answered in the form of a dollar amount. Usually $ 2,400 should cover the closing costs up to 350,000 loan amount and if you have a loan amount up to $ 417,000 about 2800 should be close to the closing costs. There are several factors that go into this such as your county and you can get a credit towards your closing costs if you increase the note rate.As a lender we offer several programs that can offset your costs and we do no point loans as well as no costs loans.Christopher Nelson BeardPacific One Lending and Real EstateSecured Marketing Concepts Corporation888-733-4224 X 103 (Toll Free)310-351-9441 (Cell)714-617-1988 (Direct)800-377-1538 (Fax) cbeard@pacific1lending.comwww.pacific1lending.com
