Get the Thursday Rate Watch — and a heads-up when rates fall

Every Thursday Freddie Mac publishes the national average. We send one short email: the number, what changed, and what it does to a typical payment. Tell us your target rate and we'll email you the week it's reached.

No spam, one email a week at most. Unsubscribe any time.

How this site works

Every calculator runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent to us. Default rates come from Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, updated each Thursday, and macro figures from the Federal Reserve. We are not a lender. Some "next step" links are affiliate links to loan marketplaces; we may earn a commission if you apply, and we say so next to every such link. Read our methodology.
