Home Mortgage Rate

Find Out Your Home Mortgage Rate

Determining your specific home mortgage rate

Multiple factors go into determining the home mortgage rate you ultimately see on your loan:

• national financial indexes set the base level for every mortgage rate, and you as a single person have no control over these indexes. When you hear that today's rates are the lowest in history, it is in reference to the state of national financial affairs. Loans with an adjustable home mortgage rate (ARMs) change in response to the levels of these indexes, and a fixed rate home loan freezes your mortgage rates at the level you had at the time signing.
• On top of the rates dictated by the financial indexes, your lender will add on a margin to the rate. This margin is in a way arbitrary - and ultimately decided upon by the lender - but the margin is what gives your lender their profit, and makes your lender competitive.
• The margin is in large part set by the financial risk you pose in the mortgage. This risk is assessed by your credit score, and if you have a bad score you will pay higher rates. An entire industry has cropped up in response to the demand for these bad credit home mortgage loans, and while there have been incredible advances in these loans, you will still be faced with higher rates somewhere down the line.

Now that you know the driving force behind the oft unstable home mortgage rate, rest assured that your individual rate will be lower only through a single opportunity: competition.
