APR displayed for other lenders above is the apr provided by that lender.  We did not do the calculation.  Different methods for CALCULATING APR are used by each lender, and as you see the numbers are all over the place.  It is most important to base your decision on the total fees charged for any given rate.  This chart gives you the tools to do this so you may compare apples to apples. Lenders' pricing above may be for a longer lock period of 45 or 60 days, if they did not provide 30.

For above pricing, loan must close within 30 days of lock date and in some cases loan must be approved before it can be locked. Choice Finance quotes are based on a conforming loan amount of $300,000 and Jumbo amount of $500,000 for a primary residence home purchase in Maryland with a 30 year term. The 'Points in $' column is based on this loan amount of $300,000 on the conforming quotes. 'Lender Fees' column is what we charge you upfront and does not include appraisal, title company fees, title ins., state & county transfer/recordation, subordination, escrow waiver, condo cert/docs, prepaid interest, taxes, or insurance.   See monthly payment.  Pricing will be affected by Loan to Value ratio and credit scores. Nothing written is a commitment to lend, we are not responsible for any decisions made based on any opinions given.  Rate quotes must be confirmed w/Lock Desk.  Other lender info is deemed reliable and should be independently verified.  Rates and programs are subject to change without notice. All locks must meet program guidelines.
