What determines your mortgage rate?

Credit Score
Higher credit scores typically get lower rates because they predict you’re more likely to pay back your mortgage.
Debt-To-Income Ratio
Lower debt predicts you’re more likely to be able to pay your mortgage. So a lower DTI can mean a lower interest rate.
Marketing Conditions
The Federal Reserve, inflation and the housing market all influence mortgage rates.
