What Are LLPAs—and Why Do They Matter?
LLPAs, or Loan-Level Price Adjustments, are risk-based pricing factors set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They’re added to your mortgage rate or charged as fees, depending on your situation. These adjustments take into account:
- Your credit score
- Your down payment
- The type of property you’re buying
- Whether it’s a primary residence, second home, or investment property
LLPAs help lenders manage risk—and they play a big role in determining your final rate.
Why Can’t We Just Tell You Your Rate?
Because your rate is personal. It’s not something we can give you off the cuff or in a Facebook comment.
We need to review your full application—including your credit, income, loan type, and more—before we can provide a rate that’s real and relevant.
What About National Average Rates?
You’ve probably seen headlines like, “30-Year Mortgage Rates Hit 7%”—but what does that actually mean?
National average rates are exactly that: averages. They’re based on a broad mix of borrowers across the country, including those with high credit, low credit, big down payments, and everything in between. These rates are reported by sources like Freddie Mac and are helpful for spotting trends over time. They can give us a general idea of where things are trending, but do not factor in any of the adjustments mentioned above.
