What does no points mean to you?

I'm not prepaying to reduce the stated rate below par.

How do you know what is "par"?

It's all relative, right?

You should care about two things. Rate, and total closing costs.

TonyStark

Consumers shouldn't look at APR if they want exact numbers.

In CA, 3.0% is competitive for 15-yr mortgages on loan values of $2M+
