Interest rate FAQs
It’s a percentage you’re charged to borrow money, applied to your loan amount.
Annual percentage rate (APR) includes your interest rate plus loan fees. It gives you a more complete view of what you’ll pay each year to borrow money, making it easier to compare loans.
It means your interest rate stays the same for as long as you have the loan.
The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the U.S. It controls the interest rate banks charge to borrow money - including for mortgages.
Your mortgage rate is based on a mix of personal financial factors and overall market conditions.
Credit score: Higher credit scores typically means a lower interest rate because they predict you’re more likely to pay back your mortgage.
Debt-to-income ratio (DTI): A lower DTI shows you have less debt compared to your income, which can help you qualify for a lower rate.
Market conditions: The Federal Reserve, inflation and trends in the housing market all influence mortgage rates.
