Calculating Closing Costs in Eagle

Eagle’s higher home prices mean higher absolute closing costs — but the same rates and structure as the rest of Ada County. Nine companies, $3.00 to $3.50/thousand per Idaho DOI filed rates.

Buyer Cost Calculation

For a $525,000 home, $420,000 loan (80% LTV), $3.00/thousand:

Lender’s title insurance: $420,000 ÷ 1,000 × $3.00 + $150 – $100 = $1,310

Loan origination (0.75%): $3,150

Appraisal: $550 (Eagle properties tend toward larger homes)

Inspection: $450

Recording: $15 + $45 = $60 (Idaho Code § 31-3205)

Prepaid items: $3,500

Buyer total: approximately $9,020 (1.7%)

At $3.50/thousand: lender’s insurance = $1,520 — $210 more.

Seller Cost Calculation

Owner’s title insurance: $525,000 ÷ 1,000 × $3.00 + $150 = $1,725

Commissions (5.5%): $28,875

Escrow share: $800

Mortgage release: $15 (Idaho Code § 31-3205)

Prorated taxes: $1,500

Transfer tax: $0

Seller total: approximately $32,915 (6.3%)

The $3.00 vs $3.50 Difference in Eagle

At Eagle’s higher price points, the rate spread matters more. On a $525,000 transaction: $3.00/thousand = $1,725 owner’s policy. $3.50/thousand = $1,988. That’s $263 saved by choosing a $3.00 company — same coverage from the same underwriters.

Discounts

Simultaneous issue: $100. Reissue: up to 40% within 2 years per IDAPA 18.05.01.013 — saves approximately $630 on a $525,000 home. Seller concessions: up to 3% ($15,750) on conventional loans.
