Thats a good question i got a quote from chase yesterday and they quoted 4.8% for 30 years and i have excellent credit last time i checked my FICO it was 760

Are you talking about a 3.5% down below $419K loan, ONLY?

Is that rate based on a certain FICO score??? Or, as long as you qualify for the FHA loan, that is the rate?

Inquiring minds want to know?

If you both are referring to FHA loans, the rate is 3.75% on a 30 year fixed for conforming and High Balance loans too. 4.8% is ridiculous.

That's what we've got too. Great rate Bryan. However, we don't do loans in Arkansas, West Virginia or wherever you are. :D

*cough* *cough* RDP discount on fees?

Only for the people that don't ask for them. :skull

I work in the banking industry and I've been told how credit scores work but I've forgotten.

As I recall, 850 is a perfect score. How come my rating isn't 850? I've never defaulted, missed a payment, or do anything to blemish my credit score. That includes my credit card and bill paying history. I've seen my credit report. It's blemish free and yet my score is not 850.

What gives?

By the way, there's nothing wrong with my score. It's excellent but how can I jack it higher? Do I have to borrow and repay more loans?

Is the calculation published somewhere? I couldn't find it with a quick web search.

update.

California rates:

3.875% 30 year fixed $417K and below
4.0% 30 year fixed $417K-729K (depends on county)
FHA 3.75% 30 year fixed.

Call for pricing in other states or email me at [email protected].

Check daily rates at www.wenhemortgageandrealty.com

That really is too good to believe. I don't distrust your figures but I find myself wondering what the catch is and how come I don't own US property.

Here's the upcoming catch Tom. There are no catches with the rates though. But as soon as the gov't changes the loan amounts, anyone with a high balance mortgage will instantly be categorized as a true jumbo loans which constitutes higher rates i.e. 4.75% (current jumbo rate) versus the 4.0% rate as of now.

No fico score required???


yeah but that's only with excellent credit!

I wouldn't call 620 excellent...

620 is the bottom end of the FHA spectrum. The pricing shown on the website is based off excellent credit. The rates don't vary much even down to 680 credit score.


You've confused me ~ Not hard to do I assure you.

So what would the rate be if you had a 620 fico and meet all of the above qualifications, if it's not 3.75%

How many points to purchase said loan?

Disclaimer: I know this stuff changes by the minute and I'm not trying to lock you in on anything. Just trying to get a "ballpark" idea.

Thanks.

You would be at approximately 4% at 1 point with 1/4 point lender credit to 3rd party closing costs.

Ya gotta know people to get in...

;)

Told them I knew RD...next thing you know I'm in the middle of the Mohave desert buried up to my neck in an ant hill smothered in molasses. Thankfully, I was rescued by a harem of Norwegan female gypsies that were kind enough to bring me back to civilization. Tired and worn from my journey, I found the energy to trek back to the Keys and bitchslap the bejeezus out of Dave. :D

We're starting to creep up again. Seems the economists don't believe we're headed towards another recession which is good news to the stock market but bad news for mortgage rates.

By the way, we are one of the very few lenders that have 97% loan to value NON-FHA conventional condo purchase program. Not even the big boys dare to do this.

Snap-shot of 30 day lock pricing:

30 year fixed to $417K - 3.875% at par

30 year fixed High Balance conforming to county limit - 4.125% at par.

Go to www.ScottWenhe.com for more pricing and products or call me at 619-255-3182.

It's odd that rates are going up when todays 30 fixed mortgage has dropped below 4% for the first time in history? Rates fell to 3.94% this morning according to this report.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Rate-on-30year-mortgage-falls-apf-2069630673.html;_ylt=AkO51I0o90u2ogWh069240_eba9_;_ylu=X3oDMTE2N2RpZ3BmBHBvcwMxBHNlYwN0b3Atc3RvcmllcwRzbGsDcmF0ZW9uMzAteWVh?x=0

The reports are typically a day late...dollar short. The 10-year bond is rising which dictates the direction of mortgage rates.

They are probably buying down the loan to keep that rate locked in.
