About Rate Roundup

Rate Roundup is a mortgage rate site: this week's rates and where they are heading, and the explainers a borrower needs to know what a good rate is for the loan they are about to take.

Each week we put the Freddie Mac survey and the Fed's moves in context. Alongside that are the evergreen guides on how the rate you are quoted is built: fixed against adjustable, fifteen years against thirty, buying points, rate locks and float-downs, and how credit score and loan-to-value move the number.

We cover mortgages only. There are no credit cards, savings accounts or insurance comparisons here.
