Florida Mortgage Rates
Florida mortgage rates, the honest version.
Rates are personal to your file and change throughout the day.The Florida mortgage rate you see in a banner ad almost never matches what you actually qualify for. Here is how Florida rates really work and how to get a real number, same day.
All loans subject to credit and underwriting approval. Not all applicants will qualify. Rates, terms, and program availability are subject to change without notice.

Your rate is personal
Credit, loan type, occupancy, condo vs single family, and down payment all move it. Two Florida buyers same day get different quotes.
Insurance moves the math
Florida wind and flood insurance affect your DTI, which can affect what rate and program you qualify for.
Lock vs float
Locking secures your Florida mortgage rate for a set window. Floating rides the market. We pick what fits your timeline.
Why I do not post a giant Florida rate banner
Because by the time you read it, it is wrong. And because the rate you see online almost never matches what you actually qualify for in Florida. Condo project, county, occupancy, FICO, loan size, all of it moves the number. The honest move is to look at your file and quote you a real Florida mortgage rate, same day.
What actually drives your Florida mortgage rate
- Credit score and credit depth
- Loan program (conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, DSCR)
- Property type (single family, condo, townhouse, 2-4 unit)
- Occupancy (primary, second home, investment)
- Loan to value and down payment
- Loan size relative to county conforming limits
- Lock period (15, 30, 45, 60 day)
Condo and second home pricing
Condo loans and second home loans in Florida price worse than primary single family. That is a Fannie and Freddie pricing reality, not a lender opinion. If you are buying a Florida condo or a snowbird second home, plan on the rate being a touch higher and let me show you the structures that bring it back down.
