Michigan Closing Cost Calculator
Estimate what you'll owe at closing as a Michigan homebuyer — lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, inspection, recording, and prepaids, itemized.
Estimated buyer charges
In Michigan, the owner's title policy and the state/county transfer tax are customarily paid by the seller, so they are excluded from this buyer estimate. Buyers typically see total closing costs of 2–5% of the purchase price.
Who pays what in Michigan
Michigan has a customary split: the seller typically pays the state and county transfer tax and the owner's title insurance policy, while the buyer covers lender fees, the lender's title policy, appraisal, inspection, and prepaid escrow items. This estimator focuses on the buyer side.
Typical range
Buyer closing costs in Michigan generally run 2–5% of the purchase price. Costs that scale with the loan (origination, lender's title) shrink as your down payment grows.
