My wife and I were approved for an FHA refinance. Then, we came into an inheritance and I realized that we could save $$$ by putting 20% down and moving onto a non-FHA loan.

However, the closing costs have increased substantially and I am wondering if they are fair.

Before, on the FHA LOAN, with a finance amount of $185K over 30 years, the costs were:

4.5% with no points


Orig.Charge..............4,170.88.
Credit..................(5,796.22)
Adjusted.Orig...........................(1,625.34)


Services
Mortgage.Insurance......4,081.46.
Appraisal.................375.00.
Credit.Report..............21.00.
Tax.Service................90.00.
Flood.Cert.................26.00.
Total.Services..........................4,593.46.

Title.Insurance.........................1,498.00.
Govt.Recording............................400.00.
Transfer.Taxes..........................1,829.79.
Prepaid.................................2,596.00.
Daily.Interest............................115.92.

Grand.Total.............................9,407.83.

The.non-FHA.Loan.will.be.$148K.over.30.years.at.
4.375%.with.no.points,

Orig.Charge..............3,760.00.
Credit..................(2,590.00)

Total.Services............................512.00.

Title.Insurance.........................1,495.00.
Govt.Recording............................400.00.
Transfer.Taxes..........................1,500.00.
Prepaid.................................3,786.00.
Daily.Interest.............................54.74.

Grand.Total.............................8,917.74.

The morgage insurance cost dropped by $4,081, but the origination cost went up by $2795. I feel like the broker is grabbing some of my money.

Are these fees on the new loan reasonable?

The costs for the new loan are $3,907 which in New York includes the mortgage tax. (Forget the prepaids, those are your escrows for taxes and insurance and interest on the mortgages)
Those costs are low.
The FHA mortgage they could credit more back because pricing is much better for FHA mortgages so they were getting more back and could credit you more.
The costs for the new loan are actually low and you do not have to pay the Up Front Mortgage Insurance (increasing your loan by that amount) and the monthly Mortgage insurance Premium.
Looks like a good deal to me. They are treating you more than properly

Do it.
