This guide shares how the new price adjustments compare to previous ones, showing areas where pricing went up or down.

Currently all new 60-day Conventional locks for Plaza Home Mortgage^® will utilize the new LLPAs. See the following timeframe for other lock periods:

As part of our ongoing work to enhance the performance and security of the Plaza Home Mortgage^® systems, we are making a final change to the public IP addresses for the BREEZE and LINQ systems on March 1, 2023.

Most of our clients will not be affected; however, those with firewall rules that require destination IP addresses to be safelisted will need to take action before March 1.

Please share this information with your IT personnel if it may impact your company.

We have added a second range of IP addresses and they will need to be added to your safelist.
