Fee Hikes to Impact Mortgage Rates

January 8th, 2014
This year new pricing adjustments are going to increase costs for borrowers seeking mortgage loans. There are two factors causing these fee increases:
While these g-fee and LLPA increases aren’t set to begin until March and April, many lenders are already putting these increases into effect on new Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA loan quotes. These changes can result in an increase of 1.5 to 2.0 points, or more, depending on your LTV and credit score. For example, if you need a $300,000 mortgage loan, you will see a $6,000 increase in the rate.
If you’re thinking of purchasing a new home or refinancing your existing home, now is the time to lock in your mortgage rate before all lenders price these fee increases into their rates.
Grandview Lending works with multiple investors, who are all on different timelines as to when they will price in these changes. The last time (within the last 2 years) an increase like this went into effect, Grandview Lending had a great advantage over banks as many of our investors waited until the last possible day to increase their fees.
So contact our mortgage specialists today at 317-255-0062 or 1-866-690-4920 to lock in your rate and beat these fee hikes.
