Lock it. Sounds like an outstanding deal. Consider a 30, depending on your lender/investor, rate may be the same. Not much difference between 20 and 30 year rates. Personal opinion, but if rate difference is minimal, 1/8th of a percent or less, free up more money and save it.

I am wondering how you get no closing costs and a $500 credit?


Rates are dynamic and chasing the last 1/8% is a waste of time. If you ar ehappy with a program lock it and close.



No one knows which rates will go in a short term period.
