They typically have about average rates.

    We show data for every lender and do not change our ratings-- even if an organization is a paid advertiser. Our consensus data does have lag, but it is highly correlated to a lender's rates & fees relative to their markets.

Our SimulatedRates™ use advanced statistical techniques to forecast different rates based on a lender's historical data.
