Origination plus discount points never exceed 3 points. Lender credits apply only where Tag Lending Group acts as the lender and cannot exceed closing costs.

*Due at closing = lender/broker fees and points plus estimated closing costs, minus any lender credit. Excludes down payment. Estimated cash to close = down payment + upfront fees + estimated closing costs − lender credit (TAG, lender states only); it is an estimate, not a Loan Estimate. 5-year cost and all savings figures = due at closing plus 60 monthly payments; down payment excluded.

This is not a rate quote, loan offer, rate lock or commitment to lend, and approval is not guaranteed. For Conventional 30- and 15-year fixed, the retail starting rate is the Freddie Mac PMMS weekly national average for the survey week shown, displayed unaltered; it is not TAG pricing. For USDA, the starting point is the Freddie Mac PMMS conventional national average, which is not a USDA rate and can be edited. For FHA, VA, Jumbo and DSCR, the starting rate is the scenario rate you enter. The retail lender, mortgage broker and TAG figures are hypothetical examples built from editable spread and pricing assumptions, not quotes from any specific company, and fees and rates vary by company. Discount-point rate reductions and credit/LTV pricing adjustments are estimates; actual pricing varies by investor and scenario. Estimated third-party closing costs are a percentage of the purchase price set by credit tier (3% to 5%), not a Loan Estimate. The broker fee example is limited to a 2.75% maximum. FHA upfront MIP, the VA funding fee and the USDA upfront guarantee fee are shown financed into the loan; FHA monthly MIP and the USDA annual fee are included in the payment. Payments show principal and interest (plus FHA monthly MIP or the USDA annual fee where applicable); taxes, insurance, HOA dues and conventional mortgage insurance are not included and will increase the payment. APR includes the fees and points shown, less any lender credit, plus estimated other finance charges. Origination fee plus discount points are limited to 3 points. Lender credits apply only where Tag Lending Group acts as the lender and cannot exceed closing costs. On a Loan Estimate, TAG's fee appears under Origination Charges.

About the Freddie Mac starting rate: The Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) is a weekly national average for conventional, conforming, fully amortizing home purchase loans for borrowers who put 20% down and have excellent credit. This calculator applies it to a primary residence purchase. Second homes, investment properties, lower credit scores, smaller down payments, other loan programs and other states can price differently. It is not TAG pricing and not a rate quote.

Rate FAQ

Mortgage rates, explained

Are the rates on this page TAG's rates?

The Mortgage News Daily table and the Freddie Mac PMMS figures are national retail averages, not TAG pricing. The TAG Published Rates table shows TAG's own rate sheet for the specific scenario listed on each row, with its as-of date. Your actual rate depends on your credit, down payment, property, program and lock period. Request a quote for real pricing.

What does non-delegated wholesale lender mean?

TAG originates your loan and prices it across 100+ investors. In a non-delegated model, the investor that buys the loan completes final underwriting. A retail lender prices off its own single rate sheet.

How do I compare lender and broker fees?

Compare the total, not one line. Look at the rate, the APR and the dollar amount under Origination Charges on each Loan Estimate.

How does inflation affect mortgage rates?

Lenders and investors need returns that outpace inflation, so rising inflation tends to push mortgage rates higher.

How does economic growth affect rates?

Strong GDP and employment raise borrowing demand, which tends to push rates up. A slowing economy usually does the opposite.

How does the Federal Reserve affect mortgage rates?

The Fed sets short-term rates and influences the money supply. Mortgage rates track the bond market, which reacts to Fed policy and expectations.

How does the housing market affect rates?

Housing supply and demand shift mortgage demand. Weaker demand can ease rates; stronger demand can push them higher.
