Hello,

I think that seems high depending on your credit history

Please contact me so I can have a mortgage professional contact you to determine if that is fair BUT it does seem high for an interest rate on a first time home.

Best,

From the APR spread, I am assuming this is an FHA loan. Unless your credit score is below 620 and/or there are special circumstances, it's probably not a very good deal. 

Please post your situation and it will be easier to evaluate what you have been offered.

Loan Amount
Credit score
Down payment
Property type
Etc.
