Wow, that is pretty good.  We just did a refi yesterday at 4.25%, which 
I though was a good deal.  Dropped our payment quite a bit for a shorter 
term too.

Wish I could refi, we're stuck at 7.35%. I can't find anywhere that will refi 
at 170% of value. I'll need to pay off something like $25k more before anybody 
will even look at it. Currently the principle payback is like $210/mo. I've 
been adding a little to it but we've got our 10 anniversary vacation coming up 
so I'm socking away some for that.

Long ago, I read, particularly in Consumer Reports, how credit unions 
are a much better deal for their members, etc.

I tried to put that into practice.  My sad experience is that I always 
could do better at a bank.  That's even before an old friend became 
president of my bank. 

I don't know why, but I do know what.

I'd forgotten them. The last time I went to them for a new car loan (1997)
they were more expensive than a local bank, but it's worth checking.

 Our local CU has very competitive rates and products, not to mention they
 are very good to work with.

 After all, we're not just a depositor, we're an owner.

 We are getting closed to wrapping up a short sale (hopefully!) and have the
 CU on the hook with everything poised and ready to go.

 I can call my loan officer directly, ask questions, etc., whenever I want.

 They are so much easier to work with, not to mention that we pay nothing in
 fees for our bank accounts, and we even earn interest on them (albeit MIT
 much these days...)

The rates at our CU are competitive, as well them having an in-house title and 
real estate group that gives discounted fees to members.

We will save about $1500 on our closing costs due to this.

I did shop around for better terms/rates but didn't find any.

Another nice thing is their ability to offer non-traditional products, such as 
a 20 year mortgage. I couldn't find any any local banks that would do a 20 
year note - they would only do a 15 or 30 year note.
