How It Works

What Actually Moves
Mortgage Rates

Rates do not change because a bank decided to change them. They move with the bond market, and they move daily. Here is the short version, without the jargon.

The Bond Market

Mortgage rates track mortgage-backed securities, which trade like bonds. When investors buy, rates fall. When they sell, rates rise. That is happening all day, every day.

Inflation And Jobs Data

Inflation and employment reports move the bond market, which moves rates. A single report can shift pricing before lunch.

Your Own File

Credit score, down payment, occupancy, loan amount, debt-to-income and property type all price into your rate. Two people can get quotes a half point apart on the same day.

Mortgage Rate FAQ

Common Questions
About These Rates

No. These are average market rates based on mortgage market index data. They are meant to help you understand where the market is, but they are not a personalized quote or loan offer.

APR depends on fees, points, and loan-level details that vary by borrower and lender. Since this page shows average market rate data, it should not be treated as a full APR quote.

Your rate depends on factors like credit score, down payment, occupancy, loan amount, debt-to-income ratio, property type, and whether you pay discount points. Those details are not reflected in average market data.

Those comparisons show how the average market rate for that loan product has moved compared with seven days ago and thirty days ago. It is a simple way to show short-term market direction.

The rate engine is designed to update daily using mortgage market index data. The "Rates current as of" date on the page tells you the observation date for the latest available data.

The next step is to request a personalized quote from Mortgages by Channing. That lets us look at your actual scenario and help you compare payment, fees, and loan options side by side.
