$550 for title? That seems absurdly low.
That will vary greatly with locale and loan amount. In NC, that would be absurdly high. My title policy was $167, or $202 once you add endorsements and the closing protection letter.

I just got offered that this morning from Owning.com, but in process with Better for the 2.5 for 15 with $2200 in credits and no points/fees. Requesting an LE to make sure they are not using points or higher fees. I have a feeling rates will keep dropping.Better has a 45 day drop down guarantee, so Im purposefully witholding my W-2 information to prolong this to stay competitive so as to close in July.
I am in with Better for same rate. I saw Owning rate is now 2.375 with no closing costs. Wonder if you got Better to lower the rate or needs to be a full 0.25 before adjusting it.

I just checked Zillow offers, and better is offering 2.375 for 15 year loan with $999 fees!
I cannot believe Better themselves can offer such good rates?
I only see 2.8 with fees from Sebonic...

Sent them mssgs but they are very slow responding. As for the rate, if they do drop it for me, it lowers my monthly payments by exactly $12, or around $2100 for the 15 year term, so Im fine at 2.5. I would probably wait for a lower rate than todays.

California residents: Owning.com has lowered their 15 year rate, no closing costs to 2.375%. I've asked Better to match it (I am a few days away from closing). I'm locked at 2.5%.

Mine took about 1 day overall I suppose but more like minutes.

I told him EOD on a Thursday that I was looking to see if they would match a rate. He replied Friday morning, I replied back with the LE, and he replied plus beat it within 40 minutes I think.

Similar situation locked at Better for 2.5. Did you send new LE from Owning to Better loan originator? Please update what Better replies with.

I just sent them a screenshot of the website and posted a message on the Better site. I didn't want to go through another LE request from Owning because I'd already used their LE at the start of the process with Better, and I think I am already outside of the window from the initial hard pull when I started shopping a few weeks ago.
