This Is How Veterans Win

A veteran doesn't win because a bank put a flag in an ad. A veteran wins when somebody puts the bank's rate, points, APR and lender fees on one side of the page and the same loan — priced across the market — on the other, before anything gets signed. Every dollar a veteran doesn't hand over in points and fees is a dollar that stays with their family. Publishing this comparison, on the record, every day, is how we truly help our military community: not with a slogan — with the numbers.

This Is How First-Time Buyers Win

A first-time buyer doesn't win because an ad said "3.5% down." A first-time buyer wins when somebody shows them the whole cost — rate, APR, points, mortgage insurance and lender fees — next to the same FHA loan priced across the market, before they sign. That's how we truly help our first-time homebuyer community: not with a headline — with the numbers, where everyone can check them.

Chase's Programs, Cited and Explained

Relationship Pricing (cited: chase.com)

Chase cuts its own base rate for customers who keep money at Chase or J.P. Morgan: published tiers have run from 0.125% off for $150,000–$999,999 in balances to 0.25% off at $1 million or more, with new-money promotions advertised up to 1% off at the highest balances — in other words, the discount is bought with your deposits. Our full breakdown of this program is the most-read page on this site.

Same program, or the same outcome, here: You do not need to move $150,000 — or $1.5 million — anywhere to get a market price here. The comparison above is priced at 0 points with no deposit relationship required.

DreaMaker Mortgage (cited: chase.com)

Chase's low-down-payment conventional program (as little as 3% down) aimed at moderate-income buyers, with its own income and property standards layered on top of conventional guidelines.

Same program, or the same outcome, here: Low-down-payment conventional lending — including Fannie Mae's 3%-down options — is standard product available through Freeman Douglas, priced across lenders instead of inside one bank's overlay set.

Same program. Same guidelines. Way cheaper — because one bank gives you their price for it, and we price it across the market. Today's matched comparison is in the cards above.

How This Comparison Is Built (Methodology)

Bank figures are taken from Chase's own published rate pages and disclosures, captured with the date shown and linked below. Freeman Douglas figures are that day's priced scenario: $450,000 loan, 30-year fixed, primary residence, single-family, borrower-paid compensation, 0 points; down payments VA 0%, FHA 3.5%, conventional 5%. Payments are principal & interest only, recalculated from the amortization formula, never copied from an advertisement. Discount points are never lumped in with origination charges; each cost keeps its own label. Rates change daily — when this page's figures roll forward, the date above rolls with them.

Questions Borrowers Ask About Chase Mortgages

What is Chase's mortgage rate in Jacksonville today?

Chase's own Florida page showed 6.875% / 7.086% APR on a $350,000 conventional loan in ZIP 32218 — with 2.107 discount points, about $7,375 paid up front to buy that rate (as of October 30, 2026). The Freeman Douglas column shows today's priced conventional rates at 0 points.

Is Chase's Relationship Pricing discount worth it?

It discounts Chase's base rate — it does not shop the market for you. Compare the discounted Chase APR and total lender charges against a market-priced quote before moving deposits anywhere.

Can I get a Chase Loan Estimate checked before I lock?

Yes — send it over. Section A lender charges, the points line and the lock term are the three places a second look pays for itself.
