These are national market benchmarks. They are not Florida-specific rates, APRs or a Bennett Capital Partners loan offer. Mortgage observations are weekly; Treasury observations are daily. Each source has its own reporting date.
Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey covers conventional, conforming purchase mortgages. Data is distributed through FRED.
| Observation date | Rate |

One basis point (bp) equals 0.01 percentage point. The benchmark gap pairs the weekly mortgage observation with the Treasury yield on the same date. It is not an MBS spread or a lender's margin.
Compare principal and interest at your selected rate and 0.50 percentage point below or above it.
The selected rate will start with the latest 30-year benchmark when available. You can enter your own rate.
Illustrations assume a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan. Payments exclude property taxes, homeowners and flood insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA dues, fees and points. These are not loan offers or APRs. Actual costs and eligibility require a personalized quote.
The publisher's daily index uses a different methodology from Freddie Mac's weekly survey. Check its displayed update time when comparing figures.
Sources: Freddie Mac PMMS for weekly 30-year and 15-year mortgage benchmarks; Federal Reserve H.15 via FRED for the daily 10-year Treasury constant maturity yield. Mortgage data is retrieved through FRED with attribution to Freddie Mac. Figures may be revised by their publishers. No forecast is implied.
Start with the repayment structure and eligibility that fit your transaction. A rate for one program is not a reliable price comparison for a different program, property or occupancy.
| Loan option | What to compare | When to explore it |
|---|---|---|
| 30-Year Fixed | Monthly principal and interest, points, APR and total interest. | When a longer repayment period and stable principal-and-interest payment fit your budget. |
| 15-Year Fixed | Payment affordability, interest savings and cash reserves after closing. | When you want a shorter payoff schedule and can manage the payment. |
| FHA Loans | Rate plus upfront and ongoing mortgage insurance and total cash needed. | When FHA eligibility and financing terms suit the borrower and home. |
| VA Loans | Eligibility, any applicable funding fee, lender charges and the complete payment. | For eligible veterans, service members and qualifying surviving spouses. |
| USDA Loans | Property and household eligibility, program fees and payment. | For qualifying primary-home purchases in eligible locations. |
| Jumbo Loans | Loan amount, down payment, reserves, documentation and lender pricing. | When the loan exceeds the applicable conforming limit. |
| Adjustable-Rate Mortgages | Initial fixed period, later adjustments, index, margin and rate caps. | When you understand and can budget for potential payment changes. |
| Alternative Documentation | Income review method, fees, reserves and available loan structures. | When conventional documentation does not fully represent an eligible borrower's income. |
Check the FHFA county loan-limit lookup before comparing conforming and jumbo options. Investment properties need a separate review: explore DSCR loans and investment property financing.
The same advertised rate does not describe every transaction. Identify what the new loan needs to accomplish before deciding which offer provides the better outcome.
Align the quote with the contract price, down payment, property type and closing date. Include inspection or project-review timing when discussing the rate lock. Keep enough cash for closing and your intended reserves.
Explore Florida home purchase loans →Compare the proposed payment and closing costs with your current loan balance and remaining term. Extending repayment may lower the monthly payment while increasing interest paid over time.
Estimate refinance costs and break-even →Evaluate the replacement mortgage, equity remaining and funds received after costs. Consider whether replacing the entire first mortgage fits the goal, especially if the existing loan has favorable terms.
Compare a cash-out scenario →For transaction-specific eligibility and next steps, visit our Florida mortgage refinance page.
A mortgage rate determines only part of what you pay. Request property-specific estimates early so a favorable loan quote does not hide an unaffordable ownership budget.
Ask the county property appraiser about the estimated tax position after purchase and any exemptions for which you may qualify. The seller's current tax bill may not represent your future expense.
Florida property tax resources →Obtain quotes for the actual home and confirm the lender's coverage requirements. Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. Include any separate flood premium when estimating your payment.
Review federal flood insurance information →Include HOA or condominium dues, known assessments and maintenance. For a condo, project eligibility and insurance review can affect available financing. A property in need of repairs may require another loan structure.
Review Florida condo financing →Two Florida properties with the same loan amount and interest rate can have different total monthly expenses. Compare the full budget for each address.
For property-specific Miami-Dade considerations, including local condominium scenarios, see Miami mortgage rates. Our statewide overview covers the broader Florida comparison.
Ask for quotes using the same assumptions and pricing date. Then review the written loan costs, not just the headline rate. The CFPB's Loan Estimate guidance explains the standardized comparison process.
| Compare | Keep consistent or confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Loan assumptions | Loan amount, term, purchase or refinance purpose, occupancy and property type. | A different scenario can produce different pricing. |
| Rate and APR | Note rate, included loan charges and fixed or adjustable structure. | APR incorporates certain borrowing costs; it does not replace the full cost review. |
| Points and credits | Discount points, lender credits and cash due at closing. | A lower rate can require more upfront cash. |
| Monthly expense | Principal, interest, escrow, mortgage insurance and separately paid housing costs. | The displayed loan payment may exclude major expenses. |
| Closing funds | Lender fees, third-party costs, prepaid items, escrow deposits and available credits. | Compare cash to close as well as the cost of borrowing. |
| Lock terms | Lock expiration, conditions, extensions and any float-down option. | A rate indication is different from a written rate-lock agreement. |
Request pricing with and without discount points. Compare the additional upfront cost with expected payment savings over the period you expect to keep the loan. A simple break-even calculation can help, but also consider your cash reserves and the possibility of selling or refinancing sooner.
Read the CFPB's explanation of points and lender credits.
The interest rate prices the borrowed balance. APR includes the rate and certain loan charges. For adjustable-rate loans, APR does not show the maximum possible rate. Confirm the lock terms separately, including what happens if the transaction changes or closing is delayed.

Bennett Capital Partners Mortgage Brokers helps you evaluate financing for properties throughout Florida. Start with the details that allow a meaningful comparison.
Share the address or ZIP code, property type, purchase price or estimated value, and intended occupancy.
Provide the target loan amount, down payment or equity, purchase or refinance purpose, preferred term and expected closing date.
Review your estimated credit range, income documentation, existing obligations and available assets. Confirm what documents the selected program needs.
Compare the available structure, fees, payment and lock conditions before selecting a financing path. The lender determines final eligibility and approval.
There is no single mortgage rate for every Florida borrower. The dashboard above shows dated national benchmarks, while the optional daily feed covers additional loan types. Your quote depends on the lender, loan program, credit profile, down payment or equity, property, occupancy, points and lock period. Request current pricing for your actual transaction.
The Freddie Mac mortgage benchmarks are weekly national averages distributed through FRED. The Treasury series is a daily market indicator, and Mortgage News Daily publishes a separate daily national index. None is a Florida-specific offer from Bennett Capital Partners. Check the observation date and source before comparing a benchmark with a loan quote.
Compare quotes using the same loan amount and borrower profile. Look at the monthly payment, upfront costs, remaining cash reserves and total interest over the time you expect to keep the loan. A shorter repayment term can reduce total interest but usually requires a higher principal-and-interest payment. The lowest displayed rate may not fit your monthly budget.
They can be. A purchase, rate-and-term refinance and cash-out refinance are different transactions, and lenders may price them differently. Use your current equity, occupancy, property type and proposed loan amount when requesting a refinance quote. Compare the new loan with the remaining payments and costs of your existing mortgage.
There is no universal rate assigned to Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville or another Florida city. Lender availability and property-specific eligibility can affect the offers you receive. Local taxes, insurance and association costs also change the ownership budget, even when two loans have the same interest rate. Compare equivalent scenarios before attributing a price difference to location.
First-time buyer status alone does not guarantee a lower rate. Eligible borrowers may have access to programs or assistance with specific income, purchase-price, occupancy and other requirements. Compare the first mortgage, any assistance loan, total monthly expense and repayment conditions together.
Ask for options with the same loan structure and different upfront costs. Discount points can buy a lower rate; rate-related lender credits generally exchange a higher rate for help with closing costs. Compare costs over your likely ownership or refinance timeline, and keep sufficient cash available after closing. The amount of rate reduction per point varies.
The payment comparison on this page calculates principal and interest only. Your housing budget also needs property taxes, homeowners insurance, any required flood or mortgage insurance, and applicable HOA or condominium charges. Some costs may be collected through escrow, while association dues and assessments may be paid separately.
Review your contract or refinance timing, underwriting progress and property requirements before selecting a lock period. Obtain the rate, points, expiration date, extension charges and any float-down terms in writing. A lock is subject to its conditions; changes to the application or a closing delay can affect the final terms.
