Mortgage Refinancing – What Types of Closing Costs Should You Expect
(presented by www.refinance-refinance.net - mortgage lenders)



If you are in the process of refinancing your home mortgage loan, comparing closing costs is an important part of shopping for the most competitive mortgage offer. As a consumer how do you know which fees are necessary and which fees are garbage when reviewing your closing costs? Here are several tips to help you weed the garbage fees out of your Good Faith Estimate when evaluating closing costs for mortgage refinancing.

You can expect to see a lot of fees when refinancing your mortgage. Closing costs vary based on the lender and your geographic location; however, comparing closing costs when shopping for a mortgage can save you money. The average amount you can expect to pay is between 2-3% of your loan amount. Obviously the less you can pay for closing on the mortgage, the better off you’ll be.

Here are the costs you can expect when refinancing your mortgage, listed by lender and non-lender fees. Not every lender will charge you all of the fees listed here and these fees vary widely from one lender to the next.

Lender Fees:

  • Origination Points: 1% of your loan amount
  • Discount Points: 1% of your loan amount
  • Loan Administration Fee: $200-$300 – This is a garbage fee
  • Application Fee: $200-$400 – This is a garbage fee
  • Appraisal: $300-$500
