How this is calculated

Starts from the average closing costs in your state: the lender's origination and underwriting fees, appraisal, title insurance, settlement and escrow fees, recording fees and state and local transfer taxes, as a share of the average home price (LodeStar Software Solutions' 2025 data as published by Bankrate: from 0.46% in South Dakota to 2.99% in Delaware). Because those averages are single figures, low and high apply the spread of Freddie Mac's 2% to 5% range around its 3.5% midpoint (about 0.57 and 1.43 times the state average). A state not chosen uses the unweighted average of the 50 states and DC (1.06%). Prepaid items (interest, property tax and homeowners insurance paid at closing) are not included.
