For the mortgage nerds out there… Closing costs are high on home purchases and refinances without a lot of ways to reduce them (most title companies are going to charge the same fees). However, a little used option folks can use is premium pricing. In effect you take a higher interest rate in exchange for your lender paying a portion of closing costs. This can be handy especially in a situation where you will be selling or refinancing your home again in the near future.
