What app/website do you use that shows current mortgage rates? I know that’s a very basic/generic question, but I’d like to visit a site multiple times a week to see the trend & current daily rate. Thanks

Thanks! And now for an even dumber question. What’s the man difference between the 30 year fixed and the 30 year jumbo?

Jumbo is for loans over a certain amount, varies by state.

In Louisiana it is $498,257.

Remember, the rates above are "average rates". If you have solid credit, you should be able to get a rate a little under. And its still a buyers market. Instead of asking your seller to come off the price by $25k, consider asking them to come off by $15k and pay $10k toward closing costs, where you can buy some points down and save on your payment.

Jumbo is for dummies like me who borrowed a ton because I live in an insanely expensive part of the country.

Incorrect. New jumbo mortgages are $766,650. Anything is less is considered standard.

Are you talking about a construction perm loan?

No, I’m just trying to watch mortgage rates with hopes that they’ll continue to creep lower. Currently sitting with a 3.75 on my current house, so these rates are hard to stomach, but I know I won’t see them anywhere near what I currently have!

You dont need to be a first time homebuyer to get those rates

If you are building a home then what are you look at rates for when you need a construction loan
