How Much Does Title Insurance Cost in Eagle, Idaho?
Title Insurance Rates in Eagle
Eagle is in Ada County, sharing the same title company market and filed escrow rates as Boise and Meridian. The Idaho DOI 2025 Filed Rates show two pricing tiers: $3.00/thousand (7 companies) and $3.50/thousand (2 companies).
Eagle’s higher median home prices mean title insurance costs more in absolute dollars than in other Ada County cities — but the per-thousand rates are identical.
Cost Calculation
For a $525,000 home (Eagle’s upper-median range) with a $420,000 mortgage (80% LTV) at $3.00/thousand:
Owner’s policy: $525,000 × $3.00/1,000 = $1,575 + $150 base = $1,725
Lender’s policy: $420,000 × $3.00/1,000 = $1,260 + $150 base = $1,410
Simultaneous issue: -$100
Combined: approximately $3,035
At $3.50/thousand: owner’s = $1,988 + $150 = $2,138, combined approximately $3,565 — a $530 difference.
Who Pays in Eagle?
Seller pays the owner’s policy, buyer pays the lender’s policy — standard Idaho custom. Negotiable through the purchase agreement.
