I will likely try to get another application in before the deadline in July just in case. I close on June 29 and I am getting a great rate, but if rates go down even more and I can get the $2500 again it may be worth it. It sounds like people are far enough along in the process that we will have some data points before too much longer.

So I might as well get another application in since it's only a soft pull. I recommend others to do the same.

I closed on 2.5% APR for 15yr on a $620K refinance through loan depot few weeks back. Out of Pocket was close to $100. I am wondering if I should look to refinance again as looks like rates are dropping like crazy

My loan officer said all loans through Amex Express's offer had appraisal waived/fees. Just letting people know since a lot of y'all are mentioning appraisals.

Can you please share when you got the LE from Owning? Was the rate on their site same as the 2.75 rate that was on LE?

I have been talking to Owning and first got 3.125 with $3500 in points as the LTV was 77%. Then they got exception to remove the points and offered 3.125 with no points.
Owning match the 2.75% from Better. I then use the LE from owning and better match the rate and beat it by $1k.

Closed on May 2nd 200k 30yr 3.25 approx $1100 credit. Haven't gotten my Amex money yet but thinking it should be soon. Not sure if rates are better now or not. I have prob locked myself out of any good chase CC offers for the next year or so based on their 5/24 rule. I'd like to ensure I get my 2500 before I apply to refi again.

Used Owning, and then Better countered with the cash back.

I got 2.5% for my $311k 15 year loan from better.com after beating Owning.com. Where do you see better rates than that?

My options on 500k loan were :
  • 30yr - 2.75% w/ 2500 lender credit (+ Amex)
  • 15yr - 2.25% w/ 1500 lender credit (+ Amex)
The 15 year was tempting, but I'm going with the 30yr. My rates over the last 18 months have gone like this:
  • 5.875% -> 4.25% -> 3.625% -> 3.25% -> 2.75%
Somethings telling me this will be my last refinance for this loan.

Tried owning but I guess to get that 2.99 rate you have to have a loan over $300K. It just totally suck. Asked for a LE, they didn't even email it to me. What other lenders have better rates with loans under 300K?

IMO for 2.25 .. You need to shell out good amount of money and with title costs not sure if it is worth it..

What state? How did you get 2.75%? And with 2500 lender credit?
