What affects your mortgage rate

Mortgage rates are influenced by more than general market conditions. Your credit profile, loan amount, down payment, property type, occupancy, loan term, loan program, and whether you are purchasing or refinancing can all affect the rate and terms available to you.

Advertised rates versus personalized mortgage options

An advertised mortgage rate may be based on assumptions that do not match your exact situation. The rate available to an individual borrower can differ because lenders evaluate the details of the loan, property, and borrower before providing financing terms.

Mortgage rate versus APR

The interest rate reflects the cost of borrowing the principal, while APR is designed to reflect the interest rate plus certain financing costs and fees. Comparing both can provide additional context when reviewing mortgage offers.

Purchase and refinance rates can differ

Mortgage pricing may vary depending on whether you are purchasing a home, refinancing your current balance, or taking cash out of your equity. That is why it is useful to compare options based on your actual loan purpose.

Why can mortgage rates differ between lenders?

Lenders may use different pricing, fees, loan programs, eligibility requirements, and risk considerations. Your individual loan details can also affect the options available to you.

Not necessarily. It can also be important to compare APR, lender fees, discount points, closing costs, loan terms, and other features of the mortgage.

Does checking mortgage options guarantee a specific rate?

No. Rates and terms depend on the lender, market conditions, borrower qualifications, property details, and other factors. A rate is not guaranteed until a lender provides and locks specific loan terms.

It can be useful to compare options when you are preparing to buy a home, evaluating a refinance, or trying to understand whether current mortgage terms may improve your financing situation.
