I miss the real empire state.

It’s hard not to - not like NYS.

It costs more to close a mortgage in New York than in any other state, according to a study released by Bankrate.com.

A $200,000 loan for a borrower with good credit would carry additional fees of $5,623 in New York.

No other state was above $4,750.

Now add to what I have been hearing from many individuals lately, doesn’t matter if it’s a $200,000 mortgage or a $20,000 they actual time it is taking for the closing is bordering – ridiculous.

Just an observation for today.
