- Down payment amount and loan-to-value ratio
- Loan type (FHA, Conventional, VA, Jumbo)
- Property type and occupancy (primary, second home, investment)
- Loan term (30-year, 15-year, ARM)

Factors That Determine Your Mortgage Rate
National averages are a starting point. Here are the key factors that determine the rate a lender will offer you.
Credit Score
Your credit score is the single biggest factor in your mortgage rate. Borrowers with scores above 740 typically receive the best rates, while scores below 680 may result in higher rates or additional costs. Even a 20-point improvement can save thousands over the life of your loan.
Down Payment
A larger down payment reduces the lender's risk, which often translates to a lower interest rate. Putting 20% or more down also eliminates private mortgage insurance (PMI) on conventional loans, reducing your total monthly payment significantly.
Loan Type
Different loan programs carry different rate profiles. VA loans often have the lowest rates (no PMI required). Conventional loans offer competitive rates for strong borrowers. FHA loans provide accessible rates for lower credit scores. Each program has unique pricing.
