SAVING TIPS: Details of costs of refinancing
Because costs may vary significantly from area to area and from lender
to lender, the following are estimates only. Your actual closing costs
may be higher or lower than the ranges indicated below.
Application Fee $75 to $300
Appraisal Fee $150 to $400
Survey Costs $125 to $300
Homeowner's Hazard Insurance $300 to $600
Lender's Attorney's
Review Fees $75 to $200
Title Search and
Title Insurance $450 to $600
Home Inspection Fees $175 to $350
Loan Origination Fees 1% of loan
Mortgage Insurance 0.5% to 1.0%
Points 1% to 3%
* Lender's Attorney's Review Fees. The lender will usually charge you
for fees paid to the lawyer or company that conducts the closing
for the lender. Settlements are conducted by lending institutions,
title insurance companies, escrow companies, real estate brokers,
and attorneys for the buyer and seller. In most situations, the
person conducting the settlement is providing a service to the
lender. You may also be required to pay for other legal services
relating to your loan which are provided to the lender. You may
want to retain your own attorney to represent you at all stages of
the transaction including settlement.
* Loan Origination Fees and Points. The origination fee is charged
for the lenders work in evaluating and preparing your mortgage
loan. Points are prepaid finance charges imposed by the lender at
closing to increase the lender's yield beyond the stated interest
rate on the mortgage note. One point equals one percent of the loan
amount. For example, one point on a $75,000 loan would be $750. In
some cases, the points you pay can be financed by adding them to
the loan amount. The total number of points a lender charges will
depend on market conditions and the interest rate to be charged.
* Appraisal Fee. This fee pays for an appraisal which is a
supportable and defensible estimate or opinion of the value of the
property.
* Prepayment Penalty. A prepayment penalty on your present mortgage
could be the greatest deterrent to refinancing. The practice of
charging money for an early pay-off of the existing mortgage loan
varies by state, type of lender, and type of loan. Prepayment
penalties are forbidden on various loans including loans from
federally chartered credit unions, FHA and VA loans, and some other
home-purchase loans. The mortgage documents for your existing loan
will state if there is a penalty for prepayment. In some loans, you
may be charged interest for the full month in which you prepay your
loan.
* Miscellaneous. Depending on the type of loan you have and other
factors, another major expense you might face is the fee for a VA
loan guarantee, FHA mortgage insurance, or private mortgage
insurance. There are a few other closing costs in addition to
these.
