What Are Mortgage Rates?

 They determine how much you’ll pay each year in interest on the amount you borrow to buy a house. Mortgage rates are expressed as a percentage of the total loan amount (for example, 6.00% on a $300,000 loan means you’ll pay interest equal to 6% of that loan annually). These rates affect both your monthly payment and the total cost of your home over time.
