What is the current conventional loan rate?
Rates change daily and depend on credit, LTV, occupancy, property type, loan amount, lock period, and points/credits. There's no single 'conventional rate' that applies to everyone — get a real Loan Estimate to compare.
What this actually means.
Conventional rate-sheet pricing moves with the bond market. Day-to-day swings of 0.125% are normal; week-to-week swings of 0.25% are not unusual. APR (which includes finance charges) is more useful than note rate alone for comparison. Compare full Loan Estimates from at least two lenders before locking — note rate, APR, points/credits, and total cash to close together.
Where this can move.
Credit score, LTV, points, lender credits, lock timing, and market movement can change the rate quoted. APR includes finance charges.
