Credit score
Conventional pricing is tiered by score, with the biggest steps between the 600s and the mid-700s. Above roughly 780 the tiers flatten out, so a higher score stops buying a better rate.

Live pricing · Redding, CA
The rates below aren't a national average or a teaser. Enter your ZIP code, price, down payment and credit score, and the tool prices your scenario from the same lender pricing Von Mortgage quotes from — purchase or refinance, 30-year fixed to ARM. No credit pull, nothing to sign up for.
Seeing "No rates available for your scenario"? The tool needs a ZIP code first. If you've entered one and still see it, the combination falls outside a lender's automated guidelines — call or text (530) 221-7700 and we'll price it by hand.
Rate factors
Two people can be quoted different rates on the same day for the same house. These are the inputs that move the number — and most of them are yours to change.
Conventional pricing is tiered by score, with the biggest steps between the 600s and the mid-700s. Above roughly 780 the tiers flatten out, so a higher score stops buying a better rate.
The less you borrow against the home's value, the lower the lender's risk and the better the price. Twenty percent down also avoids mortgage insurance on a conventional loan; 3% to 5% down is possible at a different price.
Conventional, FHA, VA and USDA loans are priced on different tables and carry different insurance or funding fees. FHA and VA rates often sit below conventional; the fees decide the total cost.
Shorter terms carry lower rates and higher payments: a 15-year fixed is usually priced well below a 30-year. ARMs start lower than a fixed rate in most markets, then adjust after the fixed period.
A primary home is priced best. Second homes, investment properties, condos and two-to-four-unit homes each carry pricing adjustments, which is why the tool asks how you'll use the property.
Every rate comes with a cost or a credit. Paying discount points buys the rate down; taking a lender credit raises the rate and cuts your closing costs. Which is better depends on how long you'll keep the loan.
The six terms in the table
The rate table prices every term below for your scenario, with rate, APR and payment side by side — so you compare today's actual spread, not a rule of thumb.
| Term | Rate | Payment | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30-year fixed | The baseline every other term is priced against | Lowest fixed payment | Most buyers; keeping the home long-term; qualifying on a tighter budget |
| 20-year fixed | A little below the 30-year | Higher than a 30-year | Paying the home off sooner without the 15-year payment jump |
| 15-year fixed | Well below the 30-year | Much higher; far less interest over the life of the loan | Refinancing homeowners and buyers with room in the budget |
| 10/6 ARM | Fixed for 10 years, then adjusts every 6 months | Lower at first | Owners likely to sell or refinance within a decade |
| 7/6 ARM | Fixed for 7 years, then adjusts every 6 months | Lower at first | Shorter horizons; comfortable with some rate risk |
| 5/6 ARM | Fixed for 5 years, then adjusts every 6 months | Usually the lowest starting payment | Short horizons; a plan to refinance or sell before the first adjustment |
ARM rates aren't always below fixed rates — when the bond market flattens they can match or exceed them. That's the point of pricing both on the same day.
Behind the number
ZIP code, price, down payment, credit score, property type, how you'll use the home and the loan type. Change any of them and the pricing updates.
Von Mortgage is a mortgage broker. The same scenario is priced across the wholesale lenders we work with, and the table shows the results sorted by rate.
The APR folds lender fees and points into the rate, so two quotes can be compared on what they cost — not just the headline number.
A quote is a snapshot; a rate is yours once it's locked. When you're under contract, or ready to refinance, we lock with the lender for the period your closing needs.

Questions about rates
Straight answers about how the rate table works and what the numbers mean.
They're live lender pricing for the scenario you enter, pulled at the moment you run the quote and shown with rate, APR and payment. They aren't a rate advertised to everyone: change the credit score or the down payment and the pricing changes with it.
A rate becomes yours only once it's locked on an application, so treat the table as an accurate starting point rather than a commitment.
Pricing is set per property location, and the taxes and insurance in the payment shown vary by county. Until a ZIP code is entered there is no scenario to price, which is why the table reports "No rates available".
No. The tool prices from the score you type in and never pulls credit. A credit report is pulled only when you apply — and mortgage inquiries made within a short shopping window count as one for scoring purposes.
The interest rate is what you pay on the balance. The APR adds the lender's fees and any discount points, spread over the loan, so it's the number to use when comparing two quotes: a lower rate with high fees can carry a higher APR than a slightly higher rate with none.
Published averages, such as Freddie Mac's weekly survey, describe one scenario — a conventional 30-year fixed with strong credit and a large down payment, averaged across the country. Your rate is priced for your credit score, down payment, property and loan type, so it can land above or below the headline number.
Lenders publish new pricing at least once every business day and reprice during the day when the bond market moves. The tool pulls current pricing each time you press Update Rates, so a quote from this morning can differ from one this afternoon.
A lock is the lender's commitment to a rate and cost for a set period — commonly 30 to 60 days — long enough to close. Until you lock, the rate floats with the market. We lock once your scenario is final and your closing date is in sight.
A discount point is 1% of the loan amount paid at closing to lower the rate. A lender credit works in reverse: a slightly higher rate in exchange for money toward your closing costs. Which one makes sense depends on how long you expect to keep the loan.

The table is the starting point. A written quote includes closing costs, APR and the lock period — and it's free.
Rates and pricing shown in the rate tool are provided through BankingBridge from lender pricing at the time of your request and are subject to change without notice. They are not a commitment to lend, a rate lock or a loan approval. Your final rate, APR and payment depend on a complete application, credit report, appraisal and underwriting, and on the lock period you choose. Taxes and insurance included in payment figures are estimates. Dream Big Ownership LLC DBA Von Mortgage, NMLS #2592815. Equal Housing Opportunity.
