Re: Mortgage rates?
3.75%
United Wholesale Mortgage, I think. I know a few other nesties got that rate too.
This is us too - I really don't understand. USAA quoted us at 4.25% (no points) and our credit scores are also excellent and we are putting 20% down. What other factors do they look at?
Wells Fargo quoted us 4%, a local mortgage broker was 3.99% and in fact, when I called to lock yesterday, Metlife said 3.99% and I simply asked for a better rate. I said that I was seeing 3.75% out there and the response was that since our close is 60+ days (still being built) the best she could could offer was 3.875%. I was happy with that...we are doing 20% down, conventional 30 year fixed and our credit scores are 782/805 eta: no points
I guess that we didn't do enough research/negotiating - because owe are also looking at a conventional 30 year loan with 20% down and our credit scores are 803/808. We're locked in at 4.125 now. Oh well - we plan to pay it off aggressively anyway and our rate is still pretty good :-)
