What These Rates Mean

30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate

The benchmark rate for home financing in America. Based on Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), this weekly average reflects rates offered to well-qualified borrowers with strong credit. Most conventional purchase loans use this rate as the baseline.

15-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate

A shorter-term option that typically carries a lower rate than the 30-year. Popular for refinancing borrowers who want to pay off their home faster and save significantly on total interest. Monthly payments are higher but total cost of the loan is substantially lower.

10-Year Treasury Yield

The most important benchmark for mortgage pricing. Mortgage-backed securities compete with Treasuries for investor capital, so when the 10-year yield rises, mortgage rates tend to follow. MLOs watch this daily to anticipate rate movements before they show up in rate sheets.

Secured Overnight Financing Rate

The replacement for LIBOR as the benchmark for adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and HELOCs. Based on overnight Treasury repurchase agreements, SOFR reflects the cost of overnight borrowing secured by Treasuries. Critical for pricing ARM products and understanding short-term rate direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do these mortgage rates come from?

The mortgage rates displayed on this page are sourced from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) system, maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The 30-year and 15-year fixed rates come from Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), while the 10-Year Treasury Yield and SOFR are sourced directly from Federal Reserve data series.

How often are rates and news updated?

Mortgage rates (30-year and 15-year fixed) are updated weekly, typically every Thursday when Freddie Mac publishes the Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The 10-Year Treasury Yield and SOFR are updated daily on business days. News headlines are refreshed every 15 minutes from leading industry sources.

What is the difference between rate and APR?

The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal loan amount, expressed as a percentage. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes the interest rate plus other costs such as mortgage insurance, discount points, and certain closing costs, giving a more complete picture of the total borrowing cost. The rates shown on this page are interest rates, not APRs.
