| re: Mortgage rates lowest now? correct Reply • Back to Top |

| I don't see them going much lower. Mortgage companies have a minimum profit number, it used to be at 1.75. We used to be able to estimate the next day rates by adding 1.75 to the 10 year treasury. Right now, using that formula, rates should be about 3.2% to 3.3%, which is where we are right now. While MBS's don't exactly follow the 10 year t-bill is pretty close. That said, I have heard from my pricing department to expect some lowering, but nothing below 3.00% without points. As a perspective, when I started originating loans, the rates were about 12.5%. Anything under 5% is amazing! Reply • Back to Top |
| blacykaty, yep. they crept up a hair today..i'm seeing 3.25 as the low..yesterday it was 3.125 Reply • Back to Top |
| update, i messed around and didn't lock yesterday and it crept up .125% so i locked it at 3.25% today with northpointe. good folks over there. very impressed w/ how easy zillow made finding a mortgage company without fees.  Reply • Back to Top |
quote: So you didn't have any fees other than appraisal? We are looking to refi and just checked with GMFS and they quoted us 3.25% for a 30 year with no points but the fees are $2100 for the GMFS fee and $1300 for the title company Reply • Back to Top |

quote: correct. check out zillow; its a free service that looks up the best mortgage deals..and their reviews/ratings so you know you're not getting scammed. these mortgage companies specialize is 'low ball' internet rates. you won't get the same rate if you just called them out of the blue. in fact, northpointe's rate was actually higher when i filled out their form, the guy i worked with had to actually go in and put the correct rate in. great site!
