The 5-Year Treasury rate is generally the right benchmark for non-owner occupied Non-QM (assuming thats the direction you are in) - and rates will generally move in concert.I'd be happy to look at your scenario and let you know opinion on if its in line with current rates - that being said, economic data has been brutal this week and yields have risen every day, so its unlikely that rates have gotten better since you locked in last week (if you got a true rate lock)

If it's taking longer than that, consider whether your price is too high or your marketing needs improvement.Take 10-20 minutes every day to study the market on Zillow, Zumper, Apartments.com, REALTOR.com, etc.
