Rates and market

What rates are doing, in plain English

A live national rate index, the bond market behind it, and my weekly note on what it means if you are buying, selling or thinking about a refinance.

Today’s national averages

How to read this

These are national average indexes from Mortgage News Daily, the Mortgage Bankers Association and Freddie Mac. They show which way rates are moving, day by day.

They are not a quote. Your own rate depends on your loan type, down payment, credit and the property, and it comes with an APR that includes the costs of the loan. I can give you that in one conversation.

Rates in this widget are national average indexes published by independent sources. They are economic data, not an offer or a quote for a specific loan, and not a commitment to lend. Your own rate and APR depend on your loan and your credit.
