Interest Rate
The interest rate is the baseline cost of borrowing, expressed as an annual percentage of the principal. It does not include fees or mortgage insurance — for the all-in cost, look at APR instead.
Mortgage rates are driven by broader market conditions (Treasury yields, Fed policy), borrower credit, loan-to-value, and product type. Fixed-rate loans lock the rate for the life of the loan; adjustable-rate mortgages reset on a schedule.
