How can you lock in a mortgage rate?

What is this page?

This is the same live rate sheet we use when you call in for a quote.

Rates are shown from lowest to highest. Here’s how to understand the options:

  • Lower rates typically come with a discount fee (or “points”).
  • Higher rates may include a lender credit to offset your closing costs.
  • We display multiple loan terms — 15yr, 20yr, and 30yr — so you can compare.

This page gives you full transparency. You can see exactly what you qualify for and how your choices affect the rate and costs.
