Fees vary widely;
you might check with your Realtor, title company, or builder.

1) Appraisal = $800 - high? � It depends on the area, we just paid $450 for ours so for me it would be yes but you mostly have to use the lenders pick so you are stuck.
2) Survey = $750 & Survey Fee = $750 - duplication? - Are you paying for the maps and registration as well as the survey?
3) Origination Fee = $695 - Junk Fee but we're paying 0 points? � Pretty well all banks charge a loan origination fee, most are in the $500-$1000 range. Did your last home not have a origination fee attached to the loan?
4) Settlement Fee = $275 - Junk Fee? � I don�t know what that one is.
5) Title Binder Charge +Title Bringdowns =$350 - what are these?- Well my title search is going to cost me about $1500 so that looks like a bargain. They are insuring that you have not leveraged the land for another propose

If you are unhappy with the closing costs you should shop around, they do vary by lender.

@ mgmsrk: Learn today these were estimates lender had to put down for FNMA eligibility.

1) Appraisals - Basically lender over estimated just in case we make changes to the footprint & require new review
2) Survey - we can shop for this as it is us dealing directly with builder's permitting
3) Origination Fee - yeah it's essentially a processing fee & we got it drop prior if I recall
4) Settlement Fee - This is for the settlement company's work
5) Title Binder & Bringdowns - the total for all the draws & inspections titling docs not the Title Insurance itself (that's $1000).

Construction-Perm is a whole different animal. LOL!
thanks for the input again!
