Default PSA: All major mortgage lenders are freaking out today

Quick PSA:

If you are in the middle of any sort of refi or purchase, I suggest talking to your source to make sure they locked your rate/program. The secondary market has pretty much frozen up and the lenders are freaking out.

greenpoint changed their base pricing on their HELOC's today from par (0 pts) to a 10 pt buydown. That means if you want to get a 100k heloc, it would cost you 10k. haha, crazy.

that's not what it means... it means you'll have to pay 1% in fees or rate... not 10% in fees.

Things are still OK with several lenders including Wells, Citi, WM, and B of A.

The companies that are hurting are the ones that were doing a lot of speculative lending in the secondary market, sub-prime, and no money down low-doc transactions.
