How to Get the Best Rate

Get quotes from at least 3 lenders — rates can vary 0.25–0.75% for the same borrower.

A 0.5% rate reduction on a $400K loan saves ~$120/month or $43,000 over 30 years.

Buying discount points can lower your rate — each point = 1% of loan amount.

Credit score matters most: 760+ gets the best rates; below 620 may not qualify for conventional loans.

Your DTI ratio (debt vs income) affects the rate you're offered, not just whether you qualify.

Rate locks typically cost nothing up front — lock once you're under contract.

Disclaimer:Rates shown are national averages for educational reference and may not reflect the rate you'll be offered. Your actual rate depends on your credit score, DTI, down payment, property type, and lender. Always get personalized quotes from multiple lenders before making a decision.
