How is it calculated?
Closing costs include land transfer tax, legal fees, inspection, appraisal, title insurance, adjustments and moving. They're usually 1.5% to 4% of the price.
What should I do with the result?
Use it to set a budget or a target rate, then let lenders bid on your actual mortgage. Bids include rate, penalty method, prepayment and fees, so you can compare the full cost.
