Wholesale pricing

Conventional Loan Rates

Conventional Loan rates change daily — and the rate you’re quoted depends as much on who’s quoting as on the market. Banks quote their own rate sheet; CDL Mortgage shops multiple wholesale lenders on every conventional loan and shows you the best pricing across the market.

The fastest way to know your real rate is a quick scenario quote: your credit range, loan amount, and property details. We’ll price it across our lender panel the same day, with no credit pull required for an initial quote.

What determines your conventional loan rate

  • Credit score — higher scores unlock the best conventional loan pricing tiers; even a 20-point improvement can change your rate.

  • Down payment / equity — a lower loan-to-value means less lender risk and better pricing.

  • Loan amount & property type — loan sizing and single-family vs. condo or multi-unit both affect your rate.

  • Occupancy — primary residences price better than second homes and investment properties.

  • Points & credits — pay discount points for a lower rate, or take a lender credit toward closing costs.

  • Lock timing — rates move daily; we watch the market and lock when the timing is right for you.

Questions

Conventional Loans FAQs

What credit score do I need for a conventional loan?

Most conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620, though the best rates typically go to borrowers with scores of 740 or higher. If your score is lower, an FHA loan may be a better fit — we’ll review your full profile and recommend the right program. Call (916) 624-0767 for a free assessment.

How much down payment is required?

Qualified first-time buyers can put down as little as 3%, and most buyers put down between 5% and 20%. Putting down 20% lets you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). We’ll calculate the exact figure for your loan amount and price range.

How long does it take to close a conventional loan?

Most conventional purchase loans close in 21 to 30 days once you’re under contract, and refinances often close faster. Getting fully underwritten pre-approval up front is the single biggest factor in a fast, on-time close.

What is PMI and when can I remove it?

Private mortgage insurance protects the lender when you put down less than 20%. On conventional loans it can typically be removed once you reach 20% equity, and it automatically terminates at 22% equity — unlike FHA mortgage insurance, which often lasts the life of the loan.

Are conventional rates fixed or adjustable?

We offer both. Fixed-rate loans (15- and 30-year) keep the same payment for the life of the loan. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) start with a lower rate for an initial period. We’ll compare both against your timeline in the home.
