Buying Condo in Seattle - First Home questions
Yay! My offer was accepted on a condo in Seattle. Now comes the not so fun part of dealing with the loan, closing costs, and being in debt for most of my adult life. I'm doing 5% down conventional loan ($310k sales price) and so far my lender is telling me a 4.125 rate for both 30yr and 20yr fixed. We're doing a quick 3 week close and things are moving fast. Looking at all the fees and costs, I'm concerned if I should have shopped around for a lender. My total closing costs is ~9k and below is some of the breakdown. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
