6.875% 30-Year Fixed
Current trends affecting Nevada mortgage rates
January 2026: Nevada mortgage rates are expected to remain stable in the 6.50%-7.25% range through Q1 2026. The Federal Reserve's cautious approach to rate adjustments suggests minimal volatility. For Nevada buyers: if rates dip below 6.75% for 30-year fixed conventional, that's an excellent entry point. Henderson and Summerlin markets remain competitive, so pre-approval at current rates is critical for serious buyers. Reno/Sparks buyers may see slightly better deals due to lower competition.

Rate Impact Example: On a $425,000 Nevada home, a 760 credit score (6.625%) saves you $178/month compared to a 640 score (7.500%)—that's $64,080 over 30 years.
Current mortgage rates as of . Rates vary based on credit score, down payment, loan amount, and property location.
Your individual rate depends on several key factors. Understanding these can help you secure the best possible rate.
Higher credit scores typically qualify for lower rates. A score of 740+ gets the best conventional rates, while FHA accepts scores as low as 580.
Larger down payments reduce your rate. Putting down 20% or more eliminates PMI and often qualifies you for better rates.
Different loan programs have different rates. VA loans often have the lowest rates, followed by FHA, conventional, and jumbo.
Loan amounts above Nevada's conforming limit ($806,500 in 2025) require jumbo loans, which typically have slightly higher rates.
Shorter loan terms (15-year) have lower rates than longer terms (30-year), but higher monthly payments. Choose based on your budget.
Rates can vary slightly by Nevada county and property type. Condos and multi-unit properties may have different rates than single-family homes.
Understanding recent rate movements can help you time your mortgage application for the best possible rate.
Federal Reserve Policy: Recent Fed decisions on interest rates directly influence mortgage rates. The Fed's stance on inflation and economic growth shapes the mortgage rate environment.
Nevada Housing Market: Strong demand in Las Vegas, Reno, and Henderson keeps rates competitive as lenders compete for business in Nevada's growing markets.
Seasonal Trends: Mortgage rates often fluctuate with home buying seasons. Spring and summer typically see more activity, while fall and winter may offer slight rate advantages.
Different loan types offer different rates and benefits. Find the program that's right for your situation.
