What this number is, and is not

Each business day Ralo prices one fixed scenario through its pricing engine and records the 30-year fixed rate and APR; the weekly table shows the last close of each week. The scenario is $500,000 loan · 75% LTV · 780+ FICO · Primary residence in Austin, TX, with no points. It is not the rate you will be offered: your credit score, down payment, property, occupancy, loan size and lock period all move the price. What it is good for is direction and comparison. If a quote for a similar scenario carries a materially higher APR for the same term, ask what fees or points account for the gap. The full method is on the methodology page.

How to compare a quote to this page

  • Match the term: a 30-year fixed quote against this page, not against another term.
  • Compare APR to APR. The rate alone hides points and lender fees; the Loan Estimate shows both.
  • Check the date. A quote is priced the day it is issued; this page shows its own pricing date.
  • Check the lock. A longer lock period usually costs a little more than the scenario here assumes.
  • See how a rate near today’s reads in context: is 7% a good mortgage rate?
