When researching mortgage rates, it’s important to remember your mortgage interest rate is personalized just for you. Lenders' rates are based on market conditions, your personal finances, how much you want to borrow, and more. Your interest rate may be higher – or lower – than the rates you see online.

It's best to speak to one of our licensed Loan Officers when you are interested in buying a home, refinancing a home, or getting cash from your home equity.

We're here to help you compare your options, understand rates, and make informed decisions about your dream home. Connect with a Loan Officer today!

First-time homebuyer programs often come in the form of Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs, which will vary based on location and other factors. A Loan Officer will be able to make recommendations for assistance programs based on your first-time homebuyer status. 

Prequalifying

Yes, completing the pre-qualification application will result in a hard credit inquiry. 

Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage does require a hard credit inquiry, which may temporarily lower your credit score. Many lenders allow a 15-45 day window in which multiple credit checks from mortgage companies are reported as a single inquiry on your credit report. Pre-qualification is necessary to understand what loan amount you may be approved for and compare mortgage companies. 

Pre-qualification is the first step of the mortgage process. It is a cursory look at your financial situation, which can be done relatively quickly online or over the phone. During pre-qualification, you’ll be asked to provide the lender with basic information about your income, assets and debts. The lender will then perform a credit evaluation, giving you a ballpark estimate of how much money you may be able to borrow. Remember, a pre-qualification is based on the information you provide to the lender that has yet to be verified.


Loan pre-approval is more involved and in-depth than a pre-qualification. For starters, you will need to complete a mortgage application. A full financial background check will be performed with an underwriter reviewing your credit report, pay stubs, bank statement, tax information, assets, obligations, etc. After assessing your creditworthiness, the lender will issue a pre-approval letter telling you what loan amount you are qualified for. At this point, you can shop for a home with a defined price range in mind. With a pre-approval, your loan depends only on the home appraisal, as well as your financial situation.

Interest rates will vary based on your loan program, credit profile and the housing market. Getting pre-qualified will give you a better estimate of your possible interest rates. 

Yes! Many lenders allow a 15–45-day window in which multiple credit checks from mortgage companies are reported as a single inquiry on your credit report. After pre-qualifying, you can see how we compare to other options. 

When you get pre-qualified for a mortgage, a lender will need to check your credit. This automatically generates an inquiry with the three national credit bureaus, which can result in unsolicited credit offers from other companies, commonly referred to as “prescreened offers”. 

Lennar Mortgage does not sell your information to other companies. You have the option to opt out of prescreened offers from lenders. 

You can opt out of prescreen lists by visiting OptOutPrescreen.comand choosing from the following options: 

  1. Electronically opt out of prescreened offers for 5 years. 

  1. Mail in a Permanent Opt-Out Election form. 

  1. Opt in to prescreened offers if you have previously completed an opt-out form. 

Visit OptOutPrescreen’s Frequently Asked Questions page for more information about prescreened offers, legal requirements and the opt-out process. 

Homebuying

Your down payment will depend on many factors, including your loan program. Use our financial calculators and consult with a Loan Officer to see how your down payment may affect your monthly payment. 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) provides a detailed description of your Closing Disclosure. Use this tool to double-check that the details of your loan are correct on your Closing Disclosure. If something looks different from what you expected, please contact your Loan Officer. 

Closing costs are usually about 2% - 5% of your home’s purchase price. These fees are separate from your down payment. 

For a better understanding of what your closing costs will look like, please contact your Loan Officer.
