The short answer for November 12, 2026

RateVerdict priced one Ohio loan at 12:21 PM ET on Thursday, November 12, 2026: a $400,000 30-year fixed refinance with a credit score of 780 or higher, priced against dozens of lenders (source: RateVerdict Ohio rate table, as of November 12, 2026, 12:21 PM ET).

The rate closest to $0 at closing was 6.750%, with a 6.781% APR and $304 in points. The top of the table was 6.375%, with a 6.601% APR and $8,280 in points (same source and time).

"Closest to $0" is rarely exactly $0

RateVerdict marks the rate whose price at closing is nearest to zero: no points paid and no credit received. Lenders price in steps of 0.125%, so that rate almost never lands exactly on $0. It lands a little above, as a cost, or a little below, as a credit.

On Thursday the Ohio marker was 6.750% with $304 in points. On Wednesday, November 11, it was 6.625% with $16 in points (source: RateVerdict Ohio rate history, weekday midday snapshots).
