How conventional rates are set
Born in the bond market. Priced to your file.
Conventional rates start with investor demand, then risk-based pricing personalizes them. Three steps, start to finish.
01
Fannie & Freddie set the baseline
Conventional loans are sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — investor demand for those loans sets each day’s starting rate.
02
Risk-based pricing adjusts it
Your credit score and down payment place you in a pricing tier — and they move your rate more here than on any other loan type.
03
Your file sets your number
Your credit score, your down payment, any points you buy, and your lock window turn the baseline into your rate — priced in-house in Las Vegas.
The rate lab
Two numbers. Only one tells the whole truth.
The rate prices the loan. APR prices the loan plus what it costs to get — PMI and points included. Set a scenario and watch every panel react.

What moves your number
Six levers — you control four of them.
Down payment
In your control
From 3% down. Twenty percent skips PMI entirely; in between, PMI is temporary by design.
Loan size & type
In your control
Conforming vs. jumbo, single-family vs. condo — the loan itself shapes the pricing.
Discount points
In your control
Pay 1% of the loan once, get a lower rate for good. Worth it if you keep the loan long enough — we do that math for you.
Lock period
Timing matters
A rate lock freezes your rate while you close. Shorter locks cost less — we match yours to a realistic closing date.
The market
Set by the market
Treasury yields, inflation, and the Fed move daily pricing. You can’t steer it — you can time your lock.
The points decision
Should you buy your rate down?
Two sliders, two questions — and the month your points pay for themselves, computed live. (A “point” is a one-time fee of 1% of your loan that permanently lowers your rate.)

Price my points for realPoints & buydowns
Pay today, save monthly — if the math works.
One discount point equals 1% of the loan amount and permanently lowers your rate. Upfront cost divided by monthly savings is your break-even month — keep the loan past it and the point paid for itself. Conventional seller concessions scale from 3% to 9% with your down payment.
What a point costs
1% of the loan amount, paid at closing — $4,250 on a $425,000 loan. It can come from you, the seller, or the builder.
What it buys
A permanently lower rate — typically around a quarter point, more in a soft market. The discount lasts as long as the loan does.
Seller-funded buydowns
Conventional seller concessions scale from 3% to 9% with your down payment — enough to fund a serious buydown.
Temporary buydowns (2-1)
A different tool: the rate drops 2% in year one and 1% in year two, then settles. Useful when the seller pays for the cushion — we model both kinds.
Worth knowing — Under the Homeowners Protection Act, PMI terminates automatically at 78% of original value; borrowers may request cancellation at 80%.

Rate locks & float-downs
Lock the payment. Skip the gambling.
1
Short lock — 15–30 days
Lowest lock cost. Fits a fast, clean close.
2
Standard — 45 days
The common middle ground for Clark County purchases.
3
Extended — 60 days
Costs slightly more — protection for longer timelines.
4
Float-down
If offered, capture a lower rate once if the market improves while you’re locked.
PMI, by design
PMI is temporary — by design.
Put down less than 20% and PMI rides along — but unlike other programs’ insurance, it’s built to leave. Build equity and it cancels. That is the conventional advantage.
| Private mortgage insurance — the exit ramps | What happens |
|---|---|
| Under 20% down | PMI applies |
| At 20% equity | You can request cancellation |
| At 22% equity | Cancels automatically |
| 20%+ down | No PMI at all |

Common questions
Conventional rates, answered.
Live sample conventional pricing is shown in the rate table near the top of this page, with the APR, assumptions, and the date and time the rates are effective. Because rates move throughout the day, the table is the only place we publish specific figures. Your actual rate depends on your credit, loan-to-value, occupancy, points, and lock period — get a personalized rate to see your real number.
PMI is generally required when you put down less than 20%. Unlike FHA insurance, conventional PMI is not permanent — you can request removal at about 20% equity, and it cancels automatically at 22% equity based on the original value, lowering your payment.
Qualified buyers can put as little as 3% down. A larger down payment lowers your payment and can reduce or eliminate PMI. We model both so you can weigh down payment against monthly cost.
Conventional loans that follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines must fall under the annual conforming loan limit, which is set each year and varies by county. Loans above that limit are jumbo loans with their own credit and reserve requirements — and as a direct Las Vegas lender we price jumbo files in-house.
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. The APR folds in certain financed costs and fees — including any discount points — so it's usually slightly higher than the rate. Compare APR to APR on the same loan terms for a fair comparison.
Common lock periods run from 15 to 60 days, matched to your expected closing date. A longer lock can cost slightly more in rate. Where available, a float-down option lets you capture a lower rate if the market improves before closing. We help you choose a lock that fits your timeline.

Rate & APR disclosure. All specific rate, APR, point, and payment figures are displayed within the live rate table above, which lists the assumptions, the date and time the rates are effective, and is subject to change without notice. Editorial content on this page is general education and contains no specific rate figures. Sample pricing assumes a primary-residence purchase with representative credit and loan parameters; your rate and APR will be determined by your individual credit, loan-to-value, occupancy, points, lock period, and program selection.
Not a commitment to lend. This is an advertisement and not a commitment to lend. All loans are subject to borrower and property qualification, underwriting, and credit approval. Programs, rates, and terms are subject to change without notice and may vary by state. We do not make claims of "best," "lowest," or "guaranteed" rates, and no approval is implied.
Conventional program. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) may be required with less than 20% down and is subject to cancellation under the Homeowners Protection Act. Conforming loan limits are set annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and vary by county; loan amounts above the limit are jumbo loans with separate guidelines. Conventional loans follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac eligibility requirements.
Equal opportunity. Valley West Mortgage is an Equal Housing Lender and complies with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and the Fair Housing Act.
