¹ Loan Amount
The Federal Housing Finance Agency determines the conforming loan limit. While the conforming loan limit is $647,200 for much of the country, the limit is as high as $970,800 for some high-cost areas. These higher limits are designed to make home ownership more affordable in areas with the highest home prices. Call or text us at 800-877-4444 to determine the conforming loan limit for your property.
² APR = Annual Percentage Rate. A rate that reflects the actual annual cost of a loan and includes the loan interest rate, private mortgage insurance, points and some fees. APRs are based upon the following:
- Conforming: Loan amount of $300,000 + closing costs
- Jumbo: Loan amount of $975,000 + closing costs
- All rates shown are based upon a 45-day rate lock*
- Rates show are for borrowers with excellent credit and no subordinate financing.
- Lower rates are available on first mortgage loans with a Loan-to-Value of 75% or less.
- Your rate may be different than what is shown due to pricing adjustments for certain scenarios.
Discount Points = 0
Discount Points = A point is equal to one percent of the principal amount of your mortgage. For example, if you get a mortgage for $100,000, one point means you pay $1,000 to the lender. These points are usually collected at closing and may be paid by the borrower or the home seller, or may be split between them.
*Rate Locks are available after loan terms have been discussed with an OE Federal Loan Officer using verified credit, Loan-to-Value and borrower qualifications.
