Too bad Google Advisor for mortgage comparison is no longer available. Google Advisor was the best mortgage search engine. I have no clue the real reason behind but I am sure the lending industry exerted a ton of pressure (or wanted $$$ from google) for releasing the best mortgage comparison search.
Anything that saves consumers money and makes it easier to compare rates is frowned upon on any industry out to protect it's own interest.
Google Advisor for other industry rates still exists. So it's apparent the banks/lenders were behind strong arming Google to get rid of mortgage rate shopping.

I highly doubt Google is pushed around by mortgage lenders. I also don't see how a search engine could tell you who had the best rate/cost options of all lenders in the country. They probably stopped it because it is impossible to compare apples to apples when it comes to mortgages. Too many variables and how would Google even get the data from 1/2 the lenders?

I refinanced in December to a 4% for a 30 year. I just locked today to refinance again at 3% for a 15 year with ALL fees paid including the escrow fee waiver. That's a discount in title policy also since it's been just a few months since the last was issued.
We just refinanced my mother's home (which my sister co-owns for legal protection) into a 5/1 ARM 2.75% 6 weeks ago (no cost refinance). .
Aneftp, If I'm being to intrusive, please say so, but your post caught my eye. I own my home and have wondered if theres any reason to add one/both of my grown sons on my house. Could I ask what kind of protection that would afford me/them? I had thought it'd just be eaiser on them when I pass, but is there other reasons I should be looking at? Thanks for your help and if you dont want to answer I understand.
My brother just closed in May on a 4.1% 30 year no points, no closing, 5% percent down with a 625 mid score.
