Closing Costs
What are closing costs and how much are they in Minnesota?
Context
Closing costs catch many buyers off guard if they only budget for the down payment.
The short answer
Closing costs are the lender, third-party, and prepaid items you pay to finalize a loan — things like origination, appraisal, title insurance, recording, and prepaid escrows. They commonly run a few percent of the loan amount.
Things to keep in mind
The exact figure depends on your loan, property, and lender.
