What these rates actually mean for you

National averages are useful for understanding where the market is, but the rate you actually qualify for depends on your specific file. Here is what to know.

01.
These are averages, not quotes
The numbers above are national averages of advertised lender rates. Your personal rate depends on your credit score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, occupancy type, property type, and the specific lender you go with. Real quotes can be 0.25% above or below the average.
02.
FHA, VA, USDA differ from conventional
Government-backed loans (FHA, VA, USDA) often price below conventional rates because of the federal guarantee, but they come with mortgage insurance or funding fees that affect total cost. The widget shows conventional 30-year and 15-year averages.
03.
Locking versus floating
Once you have an accepted offer, you can lock your rate for 30, 45, or 60 days. Locking protects you if rates rise, but you miss out if they drop. We help clients decide based on their closing timeline and market conditions that week.
04.
Discount points can lower your rate
You can pay discount points (typically 1% of loan = 0.25% rate reduction) to permanently lower your rate. Whether that math works depends on how long you keep the loan. Our Discount Points calculator walks through the break-even.
