Money’s daily mortgage rates reflect what a borrower with a 20% down payment and a 700 credit score — roughly the national average score — might pay if he or she applied for a home loan right now. Each day’s rates are based on the average rate 8,000 lenders offered to applicants the previous business day. Freddie Mac’s weekly rates will generally be lower, since they measure rates offered to borrowers with higher credit scores.

The long payback time, steady interest rate and affordable monthly payments make the 30-year mortgage the most popular option. The trade-off is that the interest rate will be higher compared to a shorter-term loan, so this is a more expensive option over time.
