What Affects Your Mortgage Rate

Credit Score

Higher credit scores typically qualify for lower interest rates, since lenders see you as a lower-risk borrower.

Down Payment

A larger down payment reduces the lender’s risk and can help you secure a better rate, along with avoiding PMI.

Loan Term

Shorter terms (like 15 years) usually come with lower rates than 30-year loans, since the lender’s risk window is smaller.

Loan Type

Conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo loans each carry different rate structures based on government backing and risk profile.

Debt-to-Income Ratio

A lower DTI signals to lenders that you can comfortably manage the new payment, which can help you access better rates.

Market Conditions

Broader economic factors — inflation, central bank policy, and bond market movements — shift average rates daily, regardless of your personal profile.
