Is an administrative fee labeled under origination fees, tax-deductible on a new home purchase?

In a new home purchase, if there is an administrative fee that is under the origination fee heading, is this tax-deductible?  The fee is a flat fee, not a percentage of the loan amount.

No, the administrative fee is not deductible. To be deductible, origination fees (or points) must be calculated as a percentage of the loan principal.
