Wells Fargo Mortgage Rates: Wells Fargo More Competitive as Mortgage Rates Go Higher

By Bruno Mckenzie | December 18, 2009 at 7:47 am |

wells-fargo-mortgage-rates-05Today’s Wells Fargo mortgage rates are far more competitive than when we researched them weeks ago. Weeks ago mortgage rates were at record lows, yet today Wells Fargo mortgage rates are the same. Maybe their strategy is to just told them steady no matter what’s going on? That seems to be the case. Wells Fargo which was well above the verified par rates before is very close to offering the lowest rates available. Today’s par rate for instance on a 30 year fixed conforming mortgage is 4.75%, with many lenders offering higher rates than that. Wells Fargo’s conforming 30 year fixed rate today is 4.875%, not bad. Even more competitive is Wells Fargo’s 15 year fixed mortgage rate of 4.25%. That’s right in line with the best wholesale mortgage lenders, yet you can do business face to face with your local banker. Also as good as you’re going to find is Wells Fargo 5/1 ARM rate of 3.75%. 3.75% for a conforming or FHA 5/1 ARM is excellent.

Wells Fargo FHA 30 Year Fixed Rate

Speaking of FHA, Wells Fargo’s 30 year fixed FHA rate of 5% is awesome. Despite mortgage rates climbing about 1/4% Wells Fargo has kept their 30 year fixed FHA rate the same.

Wells Fargo Jumbo 30 Year Fixed Rate

Wells Fargo’s jumbo 30 year fixed rate of 5.75% is awesome. If you’ve got a jumbo loan we suggest Wells Fargo all the way. There are quite a few lenders offering 6% currently on jumbo 30 year fixed mortgages.
