NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC vs NEWREZ LLC
Both lenders' 2025 filings, side by side: the rate and the fees their borrowers actually got, and what the difference is worth over 7 years.
Over 7 years on a $245,000 loan, the median terms at NEWREZ LLC come out $15,391 cheaper.
NEWREZ LLC costs more at closing, so it only pulls ahead in month 10 — 10 months in. Leave sooner and the other side was the cheaper one.
Same loan on both sides — $245,000 over 30 years — priced at each lender's median rate and median fees for 2025. It is not a quote: HMDA records what borrowers received, and the two lenders serve different borrowers.
