to reiterate unless we know:
FICO
LTV
term of loan
type of loan
rate/term or cash out
loan amount
total lender costs
there is no way to compare apples to apples |

My favorite mortgage broker no longer sends out rate sheets. He showed me why. There is a matrix of about 25 variables that each individual and property have to fit into. The range (at the time he showed me) had a spread of almost 2.75% between the lowest and highest rate.
Without knowing all of the circumstances of the OP's situation, it would be impossible to judge whether his loan rate is good or bad, but as someone has posted, if it's under 4.5%, one hasn't seen such cheap money before on mortgages since the '50s

I didn't realize that I was asking such a complex question. It appears, based on what others are saying here, that the rate is decent. Do you think the Fed's action today will result in even lower rates????

Couldn't have said it better!
Our price sheet (rate sheet) has the top third of a legal page taken up by a grid that shows the fixed rates. The bottom 2/3's is nothing but adjustments to those rates. Some of those adjustments include, state, property type, occupancy type, credit score, loan to value, purpose of loan, size of loan, length of lock, not to mention investor. The days of just throwing out a generic rate are long, long, gone. |

I locked in at 2.875% 7/1 Arm, no points, no lender fees.
Closing costs are rather high in Florida because of county/state taxes plus title insurance and appraisal.
So on a $350k refinanced loan closing cost it was around $4300 ($2100 alone in state/county taxes which are non negogiatable).
