Rate Shopping Tips

How to Get the Best Rate

Your mortgage rate depends on your credit score, down payment, loan type, and the lender you choose. Shopping around with at least 3 lenders can save you thousands over the life of the loan.

Even a 0.25% difference on a $350,000 loan means roughly $50/month or $18,000 over 30 years.

Compare Multiple Lenders

Get quotes from at least 3 lenders. Banks, credit unions, and online lenders often have very different pricing for the same borrower profile.

Lock Your Rate

Once you find a rate you're happy with, lock it in. Rate locks typically last 30–60 days and protect you from market increases during closing.

Improve Your Credit First

Scores above 740 get the best rates. Pay down credit cards, dispute errors, and avoid opening new accounts before applying.

Consider the APR

APR includes fees and points, giving you a truer cost comparison between lenders than the interest rate alone.
