I am closing on my home in approx 45 days. I have yet to lock in on a rate. The sale price is $335,000, I have 20% for down ($67,000) so I would need to borrow $268,000. The builder is offering 6% with 1-1.25 points but I get a $5000 incentive to use in upgrades or towards my down which would lower it to $62,000.
How do I find the loan for me? I want a 30 year conventional, stated income, excellent credit (right at 800) and 20% down and prefer not to pay points but am open on that.
There are too many outlets and banks and mortgage companies to shop so I was going to just give up and go with the builder but I'm thinking I can do better. Is there a broker that can shop for the best rate for me?
