Mortgage closing costs are all of the costs you will pay at closing. This includes origination charges, appraisal fees, credit report costs, title insurance fees, and any other fees required by your lender or paid as part of a real estate mortgage transaction. Lenders are required to provide a summary of these costs to you in the Loan Estimate (cfpb.gov/askcfpb/1995). Learn more about what happens at closing (cfpb.gov/askcfpb/176).
