Mortgage rates in Rhode Island

 
Economic trends are always at work tightening or loosening the money supply. But there are other factors that also influence the mortgage loan rate you'll be offered, factors over which you have some degree of control. These include:

  • The amount. The federal government annually sets a maximum loan amount for conforming loans. Anything in excess of that maximum is considered a jumbo loan, which will have a higher interest rate than a conforming loan.
  • The loan to value (LTV). A loan made in an amount greater than 80 percent of the property's market value will have a higher interest rate.
  • Your background. If you have late payments and high debt in your credit report, your offered rate will be higher than if you had perfect credit.
