It sounds to me like your loan is premium priced and you are getting back to much lender credit and unable to use it all because the loan fees are all covered. I would inquire about reducing the rate by an eighth or so to minimize the excess.

More info needed.. But, if the lender disclosed a credit based on a specific interest rate, and now the credit being offered is to much, then it cannot be used as "Down Payment" Funds.. it must be applied to the principal.. you could see about using the additional credit to lower the rate, maybe pay for a home warranty, or even pre-pay association fees, but aside from that, if you don't have loan costs sufficient to use up those funds, then it will go to reduce your loan.. but will not have any impact on the necessary funds you need to bring into close..
