I checked with my local bank and closing cost on a $400k house is $1800. Now, if I wanted to buy down 2 points it would be around $7000-$8000.

I wonder if I;m truly getting a deal. I know a lot of spec homes and resale homes are getting hurt and willing to deal. If the market was better, I wonder if they would still offer the same price?
