- variation in cost for title insurance between the states
- difference in fees for settlement services and the title searches
- origination costs which don't vary much between states but they vary between lenders

Some of the fees under closing cost can be negotiated and some other are governed by the statelaw.
Generally closing costs can be 2 to 7 percent of the home price.
