HUD recently completed a study of closing costs using a national sample of FHA-insured, 30-year fixed-rate home purchase loans. Some of the results are disappointing, but likely not surprising to many. Among the findings:People who got loans through brokers paid $300 to $425 more in closing costs than those who got them directly from lenders.
African Americans paid an additional $415 and Latinos paid an extra $365 on average.
Borrowers in neighborhoods where all adults have a college education are charged $1,100 less than borrowers in neighborhoods where no adults have a college education.
