Details:

Thinking about buying a home later this year? Here’s the smart way to save.

If you go under contract on your new home by June 30th and plan to close between September and December 31, 2025, you can lock in one of the following interest rates—so you don’t have to worry if rates go up later:

  • FHA: 5.5% Rate** / 6.281% APR**
  • VA: 5.5% Rate*** / 5.995% APR***
  • Conventional: 5.875% Rate† / 6.1022% APR†

And here’s the best part: if rates go down before you close, you can still get the lower rate! This one-time option gives you the best of both worlds—protection if rates rise, and savings if they fall. It’s all about giving you more confidence and flexibility as you plan your move!
