How do I get the current mortgage rate?

In: Mortgage Rate

16 Apr 2010

I’ve called a few lenders and they won’t offer the current rate, always higher. What am I doing wrong? My house is in good standing, I have good credit and haven’t missed or been late on a payment.

they will offer you what they will offer you. Shop around. No one is required by law to give you anything at whet you want

There is no one “current rate.” Rates fluctuate .

How do you know what the current rate is?

Many people, with some hard work, can find the actual par rate on a mortgage note somewhere on internet.

However, most, if not nearly all folks who are not in the business, do not have any idea what the changes to that rate are.

For instance, there is a rate for a 30 yr. refinance. Are you taking cash out? Say you take cash out, that raises the rate.

Is the loan to value at 50%, 70%, 90%? Guess what, rate change!

Credit score? Is it above 680/700? Guess what, rate change.

Where is the property located? Texas, Florida, New York? BIG rate change. I’m not kidding.

So, truly, there are so many factors that go into an interest rate on a mortgage, it’s not even funny.

Good Luck, just keep in mind that there are truly a number of factors to consider.
