Mortgage Market Interest Rates

Interest rates for mortgages can vary significantly from one borrower to the next based on the specific details of the transaction. Some of the main factors that affect the interest rate are credit score, down payment or loan-to-value, the type of mortgage, and how long the interest rate is locked.

The information below depicts average rates on a national level. These rates are not specific to BankSouth Mortgage but are provided to give a general idea of where rates are nationally for different loan types. This information is calculated from actual locked rates with customers across 35% of all mortgage transactions nationwide.

This is not a commitment to lend and does not guarantee the availability of any particular product or interest rate. Rates/terms illustrated in the chart may not be available through BankSouth Mortgage. Rates and information in this chart are powered by OBMMI™ (“Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices”). The OBMMI™ methodology takes the average rate of all appropriate interest rates locked through the Optimal Blue, LLC (“Optimal Blue”) product and pricing engine (“PPE”) on a given day. No adjustments to the rates that account for buy-up or buy-down decisions made by individuals are performed.

Dan was very helpful during our loan process as first time home owners. He made sure that we knew every step of the process and guided us to take an online course for first time home buyers, ultimately saving us money in the long run. Karen, the Mortgage Loan Coordinator, was on top of everything and made sure each item was taken care of in a timely and efficient manner. I would 100% recommend Dan and Karen to my friends and family; their partnership makes the loan process near effortless! They even took time to come to our closing out of county :)

Dan and Karen helped my mother and I with a mortgage loan to move her closer to me. They were very kind and understanding with all the explanations of the process for her. My mom is selling and then purchasing with a bunch of moving part which can be overwhelming for someone that doesn't move often or understands all that is needed. She was never worried about her purchase because they always took time to ease both her mind and my mind. I can't thank them enough.

If you need a VA home loan, Dan is the Man! Responsive to questions and professional. I used SWBC for both my mortgages and it was an easy process both times.

Dan has been in the mortgage industry for 30+ years and it shows. He helped me handle the whole mortgage process patiently and quickly while I was figuring out a cross-country move. I appreciate all his hard work and we had a super smooth closing. He can answer any question you may have and is always quick to respond.

My wife and I just recently purchased a new home and without hesitation, we immediately chose Dan Aiken with SWBC in Peachtree City to assist with our mortgage application/loan. Dan, Karen and the entire SWBC team have always been professional, courteous and most important...responsive to our questions/concerns and always kept things "real" throughout the process. If it can be done, Dan and team will do it, which is why we HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for your mortgage/loan needs.

I worked with Dan and Karen Aiken as well as LeAnna Booth with SWBC. Let me start off my saying, they welcome you like family and don't sugarcoat anything around the details of your financing. Dan has decades of experience and breaks down not just the loan terms but the economics around it. All the way up to closing they all were consistent and responded to emails sometimes in minutes. They are truly a dream team and I'm blessed to have worked with this group!

Dan and Karen were wonderful to work with from day one. I used SWBC 9 years ago when I purchased my first home and they were so helpful then, that I used them again this time. Buying a home can be so stressful but Dan and Karen helped make the whole process a breeze. I can’t thank them enough!

Four home purchases and a few refinances and this was the best experience of them all. Dan and Karen Aiken were extremely personal when handling our loan process and their responsiveness was top notch, even during the holidays around Christmas and New Years. Everything was super easy. I would recommend them to anyone with mortgage needs.

This was the absolute best experience we have ever had! Ken and Karen are the best. No one would take the time to help us but those two. I can not believe how amazing their service was and also what great people they are. We would recommend them to anyone that needs help and are looking for great people that will give them the best of help. They made the closing process so much easier.
