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. How we collect and publish this: our rate methodology.

AmeriSave also posts refinance pricing: 30-year fixed at 6.625% (7.12% APR) and 15-year fixed at 5.875% (6.718% APR).

Today's cut is AmeriSave's fifth in the past three weeks; its posted 15-Year Fixed is down 0.25 points over that stretch.

The gap between the cheapest and most expensive posted 30-year rate in our tracked set is 1.25 points (AmeriSave at 6.25% vs Rocket Mortgage at 7.5%). On a $400,000 loan that spread is about $334 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 Rocket Mortgage's posted 15-Year Fixed, up 0.25 points.
