How can I get pre-approved for a mortgage loan?
To get pre-approved for a mortgage, simply apply online. Or, feel free to set up an appointment with an Enrichment Mortgage Loan Officer - simply stop by your nearest branch or call 800.482.0045.
Prequalification is a rough calculation of the mortgage payment you can afford based on information you provide to your Mortgage Loan Officer.
Preapproval means you’re essentially ready to start shopping for a house as you have formally applied for the mortgage. And we've determined that you are eligible for a mortgage of a certain amount.

How are mortgage rates determined?
Mortgage interest rates fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including inflation, the pace of economic growth, and Federal Reserve policy.
Over time, inflation has the largest influence on the level of interest rates. A modest rate of inflation will almost always lead to low interest rates, while concerns about rising inflation normally cause interest rates to increase. Our nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve, implements policies designed to keep inflation and interest rates relatively low and stable
