Methodology: For this year’s annual closing costs survey, Bankrate.com obtained eight to 10 good faith estimates in each state from the Web sites of online lenders. Researchers picked a ZIP code in the biggest city in each state (with one exception) and requested information on the closing costs for a $200,000 loan there. They requested fees on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for a borrower with a 20-percent down payment and good credit to buy a single-family house.
