mortgage rate

Home loan interest

A mortgage rate is the interest rate charged on a loan used to purchase real estate.

The rate determines how much a borrower pays beyond the principal amount: Mortgage rates dropped below 7% this week.

Rates may be fixed for the loan's duration or adjustable, changing periodically based on market conditions.

Mortgage rates significantly affect housing affordability and are closely watched economic indicators.
