My coworker closed on a 765k house with 3% down and 3% rate conventional with no buy downs at 0 points with the same credit union back in February I think. They specialize in jumbo loans. Oh yeah, only 995 processing fees. The advisor doesn't make any money off of me since he works for the credit union. I went through a broker before him and the broker added over 3k of her 6k commission in our closing cost and tried to sell us a 3.25% rate. I will save thousands by going with this credit union.

Try asking your advisor if he’s shorting the market in anticipation of a sell off. No one can predict what happens next in the market or how exactly it will impact rates. Could have a sell off. Could have a rally with news of treatment / vaccine progress, government stimulus, or other factors. Very hard to predict short term movements or we’d all be billionaires. Good luck.
