oops I meant 6.25

you should have them do the calculation at your mortgage broker as alot of the "crossover" happens a couple years out.

at 6.25% you are goign to get most of the gain by getting it to 5% if you qualify (depending on your credit score.)

Since home prices continue to fall, I'd call your builder too.

Maybe he'll offer you a refund on the purchase price.

well it' like anything else, esp. credit wise, you can jump ship to what suits you. your current lender would make some money w/ you as a client vs no $ if you goto wells F, for example.

gotta hit about 4 for me to be worthwhile.

I called my mortgage broker to see what was locked in (we're about to close) and he aid he knew it was well below 6, which is good. Anything below 6, I'm happy with. the rates change every day, today is just a lower day. Can't complain about something you can't fix yourself.

Damn, figures that I locked in my rate a month ago. But I'm getting such a good deal that I'll have some built in equity immediately. Not to mention I'll be doing a few things that will bump up the value of the house. But since I'm just now buying, I doubt I can refi for quite some time. I'm closing tomorrow at 2pm, so I can't see any rates changing for me.
