Interesting... In Connecticut an attorney handles the closing also so I would have thought we ranked up near NY but the article didn't have a complete breakdown of all the states..

Hmmm very interesting.  Maybe this is something that should be federally regulated so the states that charge too much will get corrected.

ny is prob the highest in the burroughs

nys ,mtg tax there is like 2% of the loan

while in other counties is only .8%

Dan - Yeah, I wish it showed all 50 states.  We don't require an attorney in Hawaii, as long as it's notarized.

Linda - I agree, but I guess state taxes are involved and some states use attorneys?

Dominick - That's probably why it's higher closing costs.  Thanks.

Wonder where we rank?

Sally - I wonder too...

Good information.  I love factoids like this.
