Curious about today’s mortgage rates and what they mean for your monthly payment? This Rates page is designed to help you understand how home loan rates impact affordability and how to make smart decisions before you submit an offer. Even small changes in interest rates can significantly affect your monthly payment, buying power, and long-term costs—so getting clear numbers early helps you shop with confidence. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, or considering an investment property, understanding rates is a key part of planning your next move.

Mortgage rates aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your rate can vary based on factors like credit score, down payment amount, loan type, debt-to-income ratio, and whether you’re choosing a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate option. Rates can also shift based on market conditions, so what you see today may not be the same tomorrow. That’s why it’s smart to focus on your full monthly picture—not just the interest rate. A strong plan includes estimating principal and interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues (if applicable), and any mortgage insurance. When you know your comfortable monthly range, it becomes easier to narrow your home search and avoid overextending.

If you’re watching rates, timing matters—but preparation matters more. Getting pre-approved gives you real numbers to work with and shows sellers you’re serious. If rates are higher than you hoped, you may still have options: exploring different loan programs, considering a temporary rate buydown when available, adjusting your down payment strategy, or targeting homes that give you room to negotiate. The goal isn’t to “guess the market,” it’s to build a plan that works for your budget and timeline.
