$2437 in escrow fees on a 310,000 house!!!

we have already complained and they said they would reduce it by $725

That is still $1712 in escrow fees.

What's the breakdown of the closing escrow fees? Does it include your prepaid insurance and/or interest? Does it include title insurance?

Give us the ENTIRE breakdown, line by line.

That's about right. That is not high. Try FL, PA, NY - - and you will see some high closing fees a la Mortgage and Transfer taxes.

Appraisal - 415 cheap!
notary - 200 high, unless they are a mobile closer and coming to you
Lender title insurance- 925 about right
Endorsement- 125 about right
sub escrow fee- 125 not sure what that is
fed x fee - 75 this is to overnight the hard copy of the recorded package to the lender
Courier wire fee- 125 banks are charging more and more for wires......seems high, but it's possible.
Deed recording -150 Standard
Hazzard insurace- 150 standard
Daily intrest- 466 standard
tax reserve- 4658 standard
Hazzard premium -900 standard

then you have the fees i listed above
closing escrow fees - $2137 Does this also include owner's title insurance? If so, not out of line.
doc prep fee- $150 Not sure on this, should be included in above
Loan Tie in- $150 Huh?
What kind of loan are you getting? Why is the title company charging for an appraisal? Are there lender fees in this mix? If so, it's not a bad estimate. If not, a tad on the high side,

Nothing here is awful. Is this something the lender gave you or the title company? Where are you in the loan process?

That escrow fee is not dependent on the price of the house.

What about tax stamps? In NH, the cost is $15 per $1000 of sale price with the buyer paying half and the seller paying half. When my house sells, the tax stamps will be about $6700 with me paying half as the seller.

Every state is different fees and not every state has tax stamps.

In DC the tax charges are spelled out in the contract, but lenders always treat it as if buyer is paying 100%. That way they are never under-estimated.

Good to know Smartmoney. Here they are set by the state and split 50/50 but I did see something I think that in SC they are paid by the seller, so hopefully that will help me when I buy down there.
