so got off the phone with the same local broker
initial estimate he provided was no cost, zero points 2.875 on a 301k loan..however he was rolling in the closing costs to $308k (7k in closing costs, $301k payoff on existing loan) , 3.625 is what he offered for lender paid credit to cover closing.
running #'s saving much more (monthly & overall interest payout) by going with the lower rate

Did the jumbo market take a dump? I live in an area which isn't designated high cost by FHFA, have great credit and over 20% equity, and literally every option evaporated.

My current lender said the rates for a jumbo where I live have ballooned to 4.75%.

Mortgage rates appear to have increased over the weekend, but the market is tanking, so it must just be supply and demand. I struggle to get anyone to return my calls, and Better (outside of sending me a welcome letter) is impossible to get in touch with to obtain their "beat by $1000" deal.

Hopefully rates go down again, and hopefully Better can come up for air and actually return phone calls and emails. Annoying when stuff like this happens . . .
there is talks fed will cut 0.5-1% this month. mortgage rate will definitely go lower. There is even a possibility of rates going to 0%!!!!

Few of the posts earlier were mentioned about reusing the appraisals that was done within 6 months and seems these people do refi often.

Anyone were able to get quote from Rocket without providing and denting your credit?

Same here... we have DW's credit locked for other reasons and I'd rather not go through a rigmarole to unlock it

I was wondering why my Better refi is at a screeching halt. All my tasks and questions were done and no response for a week now. Can't get a hold of anyone and left 2 emails and two voicemails. Just want to get this wrapped up as there is enough stuff going on right now this is not something I need to have dragged out.
Same here, with another lender who was extremely responsive a few weeks ago, has gone completely silent. It might be just because CNN and other sites kept running "You should refinance now!" articles that have flooded these mortgage people.

Anyone has experience with Rocket Mortgage and if they match other lender's quotes?

Better is not in my state so I have to go through Rocket.

Well.... it all depends. If the economy really implodes. You better not have a spec of dirt on your credit reports and low DTI or you wont be approved. This was also mentioned during the 2008 recession and folks with perfect files could not get a refinance finished. While it was real estate free fall in pricing, it was also lenders getting spooked. We have other bubbles (student debt, vehicle debt) that are also looming under the surface.

So... I would say you are right in terms of thinking but you better have a nice portfolio to present if this keeps going the way it is going. Even with the current drop, lenders still aren't at any time of panic mode yet.

30 year is now at 2.875% with $2000 in credits. Your 3.25% is a huge ripoff. It will drop into the 1% range soon. Wait until offer expiration to pull the trigger.

Dude seems to be a troll, repeatedly calling people "spendy" for charging $2500 in a month to their credit card, giving questionable advice and pumping Tesla stock. Ask him to back up his claims and he disappears.
