Medians shown with at least 20 loans. A lender's numbers reflect its borrowers (credit, down payment, loan size, location) as well as its pricing; HMDA has no credit scores. Rate spread = APR minus the average prime offer rate on the lock date, which removes most of the effect of when the rate was locked.
