Typical Closing Costs for Grand Rapids Buyers

Typical Closing Costs for Grand Rapids Buyers

If you are considering purchasing a home, you should know what

fees and expenses you will be responsible for.  These costs should be

disclosed in your good-faith estimate of all settlement costs.  These

expenses are typically due at the closing.  Your title company or other

entity conducting the real estate transaction’s escrow or closing will tell

you the required amounts for:

· Down payment

· Loan origination

· Points, or loan discount fees, which you pay to receive a lower interest rate

· Home inspection

· Appraisal

· Credit report

· Private mortgage insurance premium

· Insurance escrow for homeowner’s insurance, if being paid as part of the mortgage

· Property tax escrow, if being paid as part of the mortgage. Lenders keep funds for taxes and insurance in escrow accounts as they are paid with the mortgage, then pay the insurance or taxes for you.

· Deed recording

· Title insurance policy premiums

· Land survey

· Notary fees

· Proration for your share of costs, such as property taxes or utility bills
