Close to Locked in

I'm using DCU and i'm about to locking today at 4.375. I'm buying a single Family house for 250,000 and putting 10% down. Am I getting a good rate? What information do I need to know also before locking?

Re: Close to Locked in

I locked in on Friday 1/16 at 4.25%, 0 pts/0 orig fee, no PMI and $0 down w/NFCU. So glad I did too because rate for same thing loan went up to 4.325 on Tuesday.

So depending on your scores, I would think yes, it’s a good rate.

|| AmX Cash Magnet $40.5K || NFCU CashRewards $30K || Discover IT $24.7K || Macys $24.2K || NFCU CLOC $15K || NFCU Platinum $15K || CitiCostco $12.7K || Chase FU $12.7K || Apple Card $7K || BOA CashRewards $6K

Re: Close to Locked in

My scores are in the 800s and I have to pay about 6,000 in closing costs :'(

 

I also got an email today from DCU that my loan has been conditionally approved, What does that means?

Re: Close to Locked in

It means that your loan has been approved with conditions. If you meet those conditions your loan will or should be funded. Conditions could be approved appraisal, termite inspection, write a letter of explantion, mortgage insurance, pay off collections, provide more recent bank statement and etc. It could virtually be a number of things. If you fulfill these conditons you should be good to go.
