First time home buyer....I'm getting 5.3% APR which seems like a great deal at this time. Anyone getting anything lower on the east coast?

Sorry for responding late.

Yes, it's 30 years fixed at 5.3% with 20% down payment. No points or any other variables.

It does seem like a great deal at this time. Will keep you updated in case there is a catch or something fishy in this. :)

through who?

How's it possible?

No way there isn’t points involved. Though maybe you’re doing a 10 year and put down like 50%+ or doing a NACA loan. Even with first time buyer grants it wouldn’t affect percentages

It could be ARM type, I don't think it's the traditional30 years fixed
