This can be due to some loan types being less popular among mortgage shoppers, such as the 10-year fixed rate, resulting in the average being based on a small sample size of rate quotes.\n\nImportant\nThe rates we publish won’t compare directly with teaser rates you see advertised online since those rates are cherry-picked as the most attractive vs. the averages you see here. Teaser rates may involve paying points in advance or may be based on a hypothetical borrower with an ultra-high credit score or for a smaller-than-typical loan. The rate you ultimately secure will be based on factors like your credit score, income, and more, so it can vary from the averages you see here.\n Since rates vary widely across lenders, it's always wise to shop around for your best mortgage refinance option and compare rates regularly, no matter the type of home loan you seek.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Calculate monthly payments for different loan scenarios with our Mortgage Calculator.\n\n\n\n\n  What Causes Mortgage Rates to Rise or Fall?  \n Mortgage rates are determined by a complex interaction of macroeconomic and industry factors, such as:\n\n\n\nThe level and direction of the bond market, especially 10-year Treasury yields\nThe Federal Reserve's current monetary policy, especially as it relates to bond buying and funding government-backed mortgages\nCompetition between mortgage lenders and across loan types\n\n\n Because any number of these can cause fluctuations at the same time, it's generally difficult to attribute any single change to any one factor.\n\n\n Macroeconomic factors kept the mortgage market relatively low for much of 2021. In particular, the Federal Reserve had been buying billions of dollars of bonds in response to the pandemic's economic pressures. This bond-buying policy is a major influencer of mortgage rates.\n\n\n But starting in November 2021, the Fed began tapering its bond purchases downward, making sizable reductions each month until reaching net zero in March 2022.\n\n\n Between that time and July 2023, the Fed aggressively raised the federal funds rate to fight decades-high inflation. While the fed funds rate can influence mortgage rates, it doesn't directly do so. In fact, the fed funds rate and mortgage rates can move in opposite directions.\n\n\n But given the historic speed and magnitude of the Fed's 2022 and 2023 rate increases—raising the benchmark rate 5.25 percentage points over 16 months—even the indirect influence of the fed funds rate has resulted in a dramatic upward impact on mortgage rates over the last two years.\n\n\n The Fed maintained the federal funds rate at its peak level for almost 14 months, beginning in July 2023. But on Sept. 18, the central bank announced the first rate cut in what's expected to be a series of decreases in 2024 and likely 2025. The first reduction was by 0.50 percentage points.\n\n\n The Fed's next rate announcement will be made Nov. 7.\n\n\n  How We Track Mortgage Rates  \n The national and state averages cited above are provided as is via the Zillow Mortgage API, assuming a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 80% (i.e., a down payment of at least 20%) and an applicant credit score in the 680–739 range.
