Mortgage rates in Oklahoma

If you have a credit score between 700 and 719 and can put 5% down, you’ll generally pay about 3.250% for a 30-year conventional loan with a fixed interest rate on a $350,000 home. But how much interest you pay for your Oklahoma home will depend on several factors, including your credit score, loan amount and lender.

Rates were last checked on October 6 and are from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) website.

Your credit score affects the rate you’ll get

People with higher credit scores generally get lower interest rates because lenders assume they’re less likely to stop paying a mortgage. Here are the most common interest rates in Oklahoma by mortgage amount, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Interest rates vary by lender

3. Plan for lenders closing costs. Lenders in Oklahoma charge 1.51% to 3.02% of the sale price of your home at closing. Some lenders offer lower interest rates in exchange for higher closing costs. Weigh your total costs against the interest rate to know the full cost of your loan.
