I got refinance options for a flat 3 with no points and 2.8 with points. Points are in a sense paying the lender for a lower interest rate? It looks like the points would cost me $765.
Break even for us looks like right over 4 years on refinancing and we'll definitely still be in this house. Wonder if I should wait for rates to drop even further or other questions I should be asking/considering?

Wait for another .25 decrease (or increase)? I have a mortgage lender who's been able to get me the best rats out of anyone for years. I can get you in touch with him if you want (just to see their rates and shit)
