Understanding Home Interest Rates
Navigating the world of home interest rates is crucial for anyone looking to buy or refinance a home. Understanding these rates can significantly impact your mortgage payments and overall financial well-being. Let's delve into what they are, how they work, and what factors influence them, ensuring you're equipped to make informed decisions.
Types of Home Interest Rates
Fixed-Rate

A lower LTV ratio (larger down payment) often results in lower interest rates.
