What are closing costs in Utah?

Closing costs in Utah typically run 2–4% of the purchase price for buyers, covering lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, recording, and prepaid taxes and insurance. On a $450,000 purchase that is roughly $9,000 to $18,000, separate from the down payment. Seller concessions and lender credits can cover part or all of it, and the amounts are negotiated in the purchase contract rather than at the closing table.

Detailed answer

On a $500,000 Utah home, expect $10,000–$20,000 in closing costs. These can often be partially or fully covered by seller concessions, lender credits, or rolled into the loan (VA / FHA streamline refinances).
