call your mortgage broker and tell him you want a better rate. just a friendly tip for the board. the rate's fell off the chart this week and no one is talking about it.

They can do better than a 4.8% rate right now?

I am no mortgage guy but I did have a client lock in 4.8% last week and was a 30 year fix I believe...probably just depends who you are going through and what means they have of shopping rates

I always tell everyone to always look at getting 2-3 quotes and let them battle it out

Typically builder (if new) will want you to go through his financing or try to give you some bull that you can't get the upgrades or same deal if you don't go through his financing but they always cave

I think if break your "lock in rate" they will keep whatever money you put down to secure the loan...typically they are willing to work to make it happen

i love how the 4.9 rate came back in trend the last month. havent seen a rate priced like that in 2 years then BAM everyone has a 4.9% rate. to tell you the truth the banks when you take that rate. they get paid more for rates like that. the rate should either be 4.875% or 5% .but you the consumer doenst want 5% you want something with a 4 infront of it so BAm 4.9% ...which is basically 5% ..you have to love the american consumer
