To the point of falling rates (in my last post), I just received this email from a friend.

Just a heads-up – If you or your clients are looking for a mortgage lender, Provident Funding has some very good rates. They have high standards, cut no corners, lend in “nice” areas, so this is for the folks with high credit ratings and documentation of income.
I’m paying down my existing loan (a jumbo) to get it below $417,000, locking in at 4.375% (and paying 1.75 points). $2600 in fees.
(they discount 1/4 point for credit ratings over 740)
…not the cheapest fees around, but not bad – and I can’t find a better APR.
Once I close this, I’m going back to Third Federal for their crazy-low HELOC. (currently Prime minus 0.65, and they guarantee that if anyone has a better rate, they will beat it or pay you $1000 – even after you establish the line)
