I am ready to buy my first home and I want to know what the best websites are to check rates other than Bankrate. I want to get an idea of the prevailing rates before I shop for lenders. Thanks in advance! by brbarret753 from Columbia City, Indiana. Dec 23rd 2021
Almost without fail, your big aggregate sites like the one you mention are paid advertising sites, usually posting rates that even God could not actually get. Most of these are really "best liar" versus "best rate" - Contact one or two mortgage brokers in your area. You'll be way better off than that way than searching aggregate sites. STAY AWAY from the big internet lenders and the big banks. I personally lend for properties in MN, WI, IA, ND, SD. Find me at JoeMetzler.com - Cambria Mortgage, NMLS 274132
