Data by closing cost category and for additional CBSAs and counties available upon request.

Methodology

ClosingCorp median fees are derived by running preconfigured loan scenarios against the verified rates and fees data it maintains for service providers and tax authorities with coverage in every county nationwide. The preconfigured loan scenarios are based on different loan types, loan purposes and loan amounts in $25,000 increments up to $100,000 then $100,000 increments up to $20,000,000. The results of running the preconfigured loan scenarios and application of the endorsement rules generates the median fees for every county. The results at the county level are rolled up to the CBSA level using number of housing units per county to create a weighted average. Assuming 80% LTV, ClosingCorp uses the median sales price for a given period for each CBSA and applies the fee calculation formulas to derive the median fees by CBSA. The median fees are for the following services: Title, Settlement, AMC, Home Inspection, Pest Inspection, Land Survey, Recording Fees and Transfer taxes. These are third party services and government fees required to fund a home loan.
