Check out the rates below for their respective home loan programs and be sure to pay close attention to the explanation of the assumptions we make to give you these rates.

Rates will vary based on your specific situation. For these rates, we do make a few assumptions, including:
Mortgage rates could change daily. Actual payments will vary based on your individual situation and current rates. Some products may not be available in all states. Lending services may not be available in all areas. Some restrictions may apply. Based on the purchase/refinance of a primary residence. We assumed (unless otherwise noted) that: closing costs are paid out of pocket; this is your primary residence and is a single family home; debt-to-income ratio is less than 30%; and credit score is over 720. The lock period for your rate is 45 days. If your LTV is above 80%, PMI will be added to your monthly mortgage payment.
Please remember that we don’t have all your information that we might need to give you an actual mortgage rate that you can qualify for and lock. Therefore, the rate and payment results you see from this calculator may not reflect your actual situation. Quicken Loans offers over a hundred loan products. You may still qualify for a loan even if your situation doesn’t match our assumptions.
Those are our rates for today!! If you like what you see, there is always more where that came from. You can get more accurate results that are customized with your specific information by talking with a Quicken Loans mortgage banker directly.
