Rate factors
Key variables lenders weigh when quoting your interest rate and monthly payment.
Higher credit scores earn preferred interest rate tiers. Strengthening your score before applying can yield substantial monthly savings.
Putting down 20% eliminates Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and secures prime pricing, while 3% to 5% down programs preserve liquid reserves.
15-year fixed terms carry lower interest rates than 30-year terms, while ARMs offer lower introductory rates for the first 5 to 7 years.
Lenders compare total monthly debt obligations against gross monthly income to verify long-term payment comfort.
Primary single-family residences qualify for the most favorable rates compared to multi-unit properties or secondary vacation homes.
