Estimate, not a quote. Rate adjustments use the same simple table as our rate tool (T30). Real pricing depends on the lender, points and the whole file.
Under 620, many lenders won't do a conventional loan. FHA is the usual path (as low as 3.5% down with 580+). The rate shown is a rough estimate.
Loans over $1,249,125 (Santa Clara / Alameda 2026) are jumbo. Fannie Mae fees don't apply, but lenders usually want 700+ and price credit even harder.

Common mistake: "Checking my score will drop it." Checking your own report or score does not hurt it. Only a lender's hard pull for new credit counts (CFPB).
