So confused! Being charged points for our rate?

Hudson2278 · ‎02-02-2012

we have a rate of 3.75 and am reading over the loan docs after signing them and it says "Our origination charge
This charge is for getting this loan for you. $3,409.49" we are very happy with our rate but we have posted before about our closing costs being high so is this a normal charge? Should we of shopped around? If we are already getting a great rate why shop around? Could it save us fees>?

You can ask them to quote you a cheaper rate. What are your scores?

You should definitely get at least one more quote. Some lenders like to pad the GFE with fees

How much is the house you are buying? Origination charges are sometimes a percentage of purchase price

Is this a convertional loan

My Ficos are in the upper 600s and I was looking at a 4 percent rate with no points if I went conventional.

Ended up going FHA with a negative point and got 3.5.
