“The rise in existing home sales announced today indicates that home buying season is in full swing,” said Mona Marimow, Senior Vice President of LendingTree.com. “Home buyers around the country are shopping for their perfect home, comparing everything from lot size to layout of different properties. But many home buyers won’t use nearly the same diligence when shopping for their mortgage. A recent LendingTree survey found that nearly 40% of consumers obtain just one home loan quote, meaning they could be missing an opportunity to obtain a lower rate or better terms.”
The LendingTree Weekly Mortgage Rate Pulse is a snapshot of the lowest and average home loan rates available within the LendingTree network of lenders and is compiled every Wednesday from data that is gathered from the previous day to reflect the most up to date information on current mortgage rates.
