Your appraisal seems high, I paid 400 for mine... also, your origination charges seem high, in oklahoma, I paid like 3750 in discount points to get a rate of 3.875%... but also, these charges can vary by state and by lender... did you get a GFE from other lenders as well?

Re: Closing Cost / GFE

Thank for the reply. The appraisal cost is a little high because it's a 2-family house.

I was more concerned about the other fees, but it seems like they're "normal".

Re: Closing Cost / GFE

I am curious, what is the credit charge? Is that like the payments from the builder/bank?

Re: Closing Cost / GFE

Origination charge seems sky high.  After the adjustment it's about right but at north of $7k for a 22k loan it seems really high.

Re: Closing Cost / GFE

Could it be because it includes other items as well? (I don't have the GFE in front of me right now, will take a look at it tomorrow)

Re: Closing Cost / GFE

I'm purchasing a repo through USDA and my closing costs are right at $6,000 for a $69,500 home. I've paid out of pocket for a home inspection and appraisal too, so that's not including that. Plus the pest inspection is provided by the seller. I'm not too worried because the seller is paying a good bit of it, so what I am stuck paying for I just roll it into my loan.
