I was quoted the following rates today (refi if that maters) - all 30 year. Loan amount $268,800.

4.5% - $1362 P/I
4.375% - $336 at closing - $1342 P/I
4.25% - $672 at closing - $1353 P/I
4.125% - $336 at closing - $1303 P/I
4.0% - $1344 at closing - $1283 P/I
3.785% - $2688 at closing - $1264 P/I

VA loan:
30 year - 3.75% - $1,235 P/I plus a $9,000 funding fee

15 year mortgage is 3.75%

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking.

Do the rates look good, or are there lower rates out there?

Seem high to me. Thought 30yr fixed would be in the 3.6-3.85 range. Refinances not get as good of rates as new purchases?

How did you use? How much did you pay at closing? I'm see much lower rates on line than what I was quoted.

You should be getting lower than that unless it's a cashout refi or your credit score is low.

Those are high. I was locking customers in today at 3.5% and that’s not charging any points.

Can’t judge without knowing your credit score and history.

More important IMO is knowing what your objectives and cash flow situation is.

I looked at a 15 year but ended up with a higher rate on a 30 year because i wanted the flexibility of making double or triple payments when I’m able without being locked in at that pace if I lose my job or something.

Score is 780, I understand the only reason it is not higher is because we don't have much debt (makes no sense?). Never late on a payment, joint income over $250k, assets nearing a million.

You should be able to get better rates than you posted. Just a quick search shows lots of 3.5-3.75 rates on a 30 year, and 3% on a 15.

I talked to a lender yesterday that said you could get a 30 year mtg rate for between 3.375 and 3.5 depending on credit.

Your rate is at least 0.25% higher because you are taking cash out. Everyone in here replying is googling and 99% of online advertisements only quote purchase or rate/term rates.

Your transaction is a cash out refinance. Are you sure they are able to lend you 286k and you're worth 336k? Conventional loans are limited to 80% when you cash out, you would be at 85%. VA does allow above 85%.

Correct, my rate above was a traditional refi, not a cash out. I was just giving a reference. Based on that, you shouldn’t pay any more than 3.75 on a cash out.
