Start With the Points Assumption

Wells Fargo's published examples assume up to 0.50 discount points — $2,250 on a $450,000 loan — inside the rate. The Freeman Douglas column is priced at 0 points. At the tracked example rates on $450,000, the monthly principal & interest difference is $189.35 and the full-term interest difference is $68,165 before counting the points at all. Labeled for what they are: rate differences on stated assumptions, re-priced on your scenario before you rely on them.

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.

Wells Fargo's Programs, Cited and Explained

Wells Fargo published examples (cited: wellsfargo.com)

Wells Fargo's own disclosures state its published rates and APRs may include up to 0.50 in discount points as an upfront cost to the borrower. That is legal and disclosed — in the fine print, where most borrowers never see it.

Same program, or the same outcome, here: Here the points line reads 0 — printed in the main table, not the footnotes.

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 Wells Fargo'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 Wells Fargo Mortgages

Why won't Wells Fargo just post its rate?

Its public pages show examples and route you to a personalized quote. The dated, sourced example above is the public record; your Loan Estimate from Wells Fargo is the figure to bring in for a line-by-line second look.
