so far the best i was able to find was 5.875%.
i could bring it down to $5.75% if i pay 0.5% ($1665), is that worth it?
that would reduce the monthly payments by ~$25.

My rate, as of today is 5.625% with 0 points on a Single Family Home in Mass, on a 60 day lock.
I would not pay points if I was you, take a look at it from a mathematical perspective:
5.625% @ 0 points = $1,916/month (Principle & Interest)
5.50% @ .50 points = $1,890/month (Principle & Interest)
Monthly Savings = $26
Points = $1,665
Time to recoup the costs = 64 Months/ 5 Years 4 months.
Absolutely not worth it. Put that money in a interest bearing account and make it work for you. Discipline is key.
