Just asking if 7% interest on a 30-yr fixed is a good or bad rate doesn't give any lender enough information to provide any sort of legitimate answer. That rate could be high, great, or even low! All lenders would need to have a full application, review your documents, including credit report, and understand what type of property you are purchasing in order to make an accurate quote. What I can tell you is that 7% immediately indicates to me that you do NOT have a standard situation. If the property in MN or WI, visit www.MnBestRates.com for a proper review.

7% is definitely above the current market rate; however, what is more important to focus on is maximizing your financial position through your mortgage.

7% rate on a 30 year fixed is quite high, unless you are credit challeged and you are proceeding with a private money loan. Keep shopping around if you are decent credit worthy and have a conv, or FHA loan.

Hey Kent, I agree with the rest of the group. 7% is entirely too high, but as Mr. Tominaga mentioned it really depends on the loan program. We all have access to the low rates available under FHA, the question the question you need to ask is how quickly can your loan be processed. I average a 15 to 20 day turn around. With clients that have all the needed paper work readily available I have closed loans in 2 weeks. If you are a Veteran and would like to use your VA entitlement you have to deal with a VA Home Specialist like myself. There are some good loan officers out there, but you need a full-time representative that will be available 24/7days a week. Following up on the process is key! That what I do! Give me a call to further discuss 1-855-790-1980 x407 or email me at jsanchez@westtownsb.com. Have a great weekend!

There is not enough info to answer your question. 7% could be good or it could be bad. There are a lot of variables involved. What is the loan amount? What is the LTV? Does that rate include any type of lender paid PMI? How is your credit? What is the property type? Are you able to verify your income and job history? All important question. If you are asking in regards to the national average and a standard SFR purchase or refi then YES, the rate is too high and other sources should be considered.
