National averages tell one story. Your file tells another.

The rates below are national averages reported by Mortgage News Daily. They come from real lender rate sheets and update every weekday around 4PM Eastern. What they cannot tell you is what rate you will actually be offered.

Your real rate depends on credit score, down payment, loan amount, property type, occupancy, and how aggressively a lender is pricing on any given day. A buyer with strong credit and 25 percent down on a single family home might land below the national average. A buyer with 5 percent down on a condo might land above it. Same market, different numbers.

Use this page to watch the trend, not to plan your payment. For that, we should talk.

For You Specifically

What this market means if you are buying or refinancing.

If you are buying right now: Lock conversations matter more than ever. Rates can move by 0.25 percent in a single week of volatility. Your pre-approval gives you a window. We should discuss whether to lock at application or float into the contract.

If you are pre-approved and shopping: Your rate is not locked until we lock it. The number on your pre-approval is a snapshot. If you have been shopping for 30 plus days, your rate assumption is probably stale. Quick refresh keeps your DTI numbers accurate.

If you have a rate above 7 percent from 2023 or 2024: You should know your refinance breakeven number. There is a rate threshold at which it makes sense to act. Below that, holding is correct. We track it for you so you know when to move.

If you are deciding between buying now or waiting: The math here is rarely about the rate alone. It is about home appreciation versus rent paid versus tax benefit versus the cost of waiting. The "wait for rates to drop" thinking misses how the rest of the math compounds. Worth a conversation.
