Why the same loan prices differently by state

  • Lenders set prices by state, and not every lender lends in every state.
  • Each state is priced at its own time around midday ET, so the snapshots are a few minutes apart.
  • State taxes and recording fees are separate from these prices and are not in the table.

A Pennsylvania rule worth knowing

Pennsylvania's state realty transfer tax is 1 percent of the value of real estate transferred by deed, and many local governments add their own realty transfer tax. (source: Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, Realty Transfer Tax).

Why would the same loan cost more in one state than another?

Lenders price each state separately, and not every lender lends everywhere. The same rate can carry a different number of points or credit from state to state.

Does a refinance in Pennsylvania pay realty transfer tax?

Pennsylvania's 1 percent realty transfer tax applies to real estate transferred by deed (source: Pennsylvania Department of Revenue). Ask your title company what applies to your refinance.
