Here’s what you need to know about mortgage interest rates.
What is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, and how does it relate to interest rates and the Federal Reserve? Recently, we discussed the Treasury and what it means for interest rates, so today, we want to take things a step further and explain how this relates to your mortgage.
