DAILY MORTGAGE RATE CHART

Most important point: the best use of this index is to track the CHANGE from day to day. There are so many things that can cause discrepancies between borrowers, lenders, and quotes. But because we use the same baseline scenario year after year, you can be sure that the CHANGE is a good representation of how rates are moving.

Although this chart shows the AVERAGE rates on today's market,

I can provide my clients with significantly lower rates than the average bank or lender with my wholesale pricing.

Bid Over Asking Price



Nationwide, the typical home sold received 2-3 offers this year.

Ask me about my Bid Over Asking Price tool and I'll take you through the math!
