Step by step

Doing it by hand

Step 1

Start from the purchase price and confirm your actual down payment.

Step 2

Ask the lender for a Loan Estimate — it lists every fee in a fixed format you can compare.

Step 3

Decide whether discount points make sense given how long you plan to stay.

Step 4

Check the local transfer tax; it varies enormously between counties.

Step 5

Add prepaid escrow, which is real cash even though it is not a fee.

Questions

What people ask next

Can closing costs be rolled into the loan?

Sometimes, usually at a slightly higher rate. You pay interest on them for the life of the loan.

Who pays what?

Custom varies by region, and some items are negotiable in the purchase contract, especially in a slower market.
