Today I received an email from PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) touting new lower mortgage rates:
"Limited-Time Offer -- PenFed Lowers Mortgage Rates AGAIN!"
The 5/5 adjustable rate mortgage is now just 2.75%, with no origination fees and PenFed paying closing costs up to $10K. (There's also the 5 year HEL with a 1.99% rate; the HEL rate is not new.)

The 30-year fixed rate mortgage is now just 3.375%, with no origination fees (per fine print on the application page).
https://www.penfed.org/30-Year-Fixed-Mortgage/
PenFed used to charge a 1% origination fee on all fixed rate mortgages, but right now the 30-year fixed rate mortgage seems to be exempt!
There are many ways to join PenFed; for example, you can make a donation to the National Military Family Association. The PenFed website has further details:

My quotes on closing costs came in substantially lower than yours.
About $5700 for 15 yr and $2700 for 30 yr fixed for a 280K loan. I have 30% equity in my home.

Anyone have any idea how much title insurance would cost? I would be refinancing a little less than $70k. Any recommendations for where I should get some quotes? I don't remember where I got mine when I originally bought the house (or how much it cost).
