Other Washington Costs That Can Affect Washington Mortgage Calculations

Homeowners Insurance in Washington

The average homeowner in Washington pays $955 annually, which is surprisingly low considering the state is ranked the sixth most-expensive. Most premiums will cover theft, lightning, hail, wind, smoke damage, and more. Washington experiences less damaging weather than other U.S. states with most insurance claims being for wind, hail, fire, or lightning.

Earthquakes can occur in the state and most insurance policies will not cover this. For an additional cost, earthquake insurance can be purchased to protect your home. Floods are also a threat in the state. For flood insurance, contact the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Closing Costs

Homebuyers can expect to pay 1% to 3% of the final purchase price in closing costs in Washington.

Title Insurance

Title insurance protects the owner and the mortgage lender against any claims that might incur with the property’s title. This could be related to title problems that should have been discovered in the public records but may have been overlooked at the time of purchase, even with the most complete examination. Your lender will usually require a policy that equals the amount of the loan. Title insurance is a one-time cost that will depend on the price of your home.

Real Estate Transfer Tax

Washington imposes a real estate transfer tax on properties at a rate of 1.28%. Almost all counties and municipalities levy an additional tax between 0.25% and 0.5% in most local areas.

Home Inspection

A home inspection is typically required by the mortgage lender to assess the property to ensure it is structurally sound before final sale. Costs of the inspection will depend on the square footage of the home and location. In Washington, they will typically cost between $280 and $700 for larger properties. General inspections cover the assessment of foundation, roofs, basements, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, and electrical aspects of the home. Additional tests for mold, radon or termite can be carried out for an added cost.
