Bank Rate Monitor which studies the lending industry recently published a study of closing costs on a state by state basis. To conduct the research, they picked a zip code in the most populous city in the state and asked for a good faith estimate of origination fees, title and settlement fees charged by 3rd parties and prepaids. They obtained between 6 and 9 estimates for each city.
The most expensive state was New York and the least expensive was Indiana.
