Rates are each lender's own published rate as of 9:50 a.m. ET, collected from their public rate pages and feeds. Each cell shows the posted rate / APR — the APR is the better cross-lender comparison, since posted rates reflect each lender's own assumptions about credit, points, and loan size. A figure in parentheses is today's change; a '—' means the lender doesn't post that product.

AmeriSave also posts refinance pricing: 30-year fixed at 5.99% (6.496% APR) and 15-year fixed at 5.25% (6.049% APR).

Today's increase is Wells Fargo's second in the past three weeks; its posted 30-Year Fixed is up 0 points over that stretch.

The gap between the cheapest and most expensive posted 30-year rate in our tracked set is 1.125 points (AmeriSave at 5.625% vs Rocket Mortgage at 6.75%). On a $400,000 loan that spread is about $292 a month — on any given morning, the difference between lenders is far larger than the day-to-day movement of any one of them.

Over the past week the biggest move in the set is U.S. Bank's posted VA 30-Year Fixed, down 0.125 points.

In the broader market, the 10-year Treasury yield — the benchmark long-term mortgage pricing most closely tracks — stood at 4.68% at its most recent close (Friday, August 14, per FRED), up 5 basis points from the prior close and up 3 basis points over the past week.
