Over $100,000 up to $1 Million - $5.00 per $1,000

Title insurance for a new home purchased for $250,000 and financed would cost $1325.00.

Steep but worth in it for the peace of mind.
That's about right but most of my cost was forced on me because I mortgaged. About $1000 for their coverage and $325 for mine.
