Today's California mortgage rates
| Conforming |
APR layer
Annual percentage rate (APR)
The annual cost of a loan to a borrower. Like an interest rate, the APR is expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. Unlike an interest rate, however, it includes other charges or fees to reflect the total cost of the loan. The Federal Truth in Lending Act requires that every consumer loan agreement disclose the APR. Since all lenders must follow the same rules to ensure the accuracy of the APR, borrowers can use the APR as a good basis for comparing certain costs of loans. End of layer. |
Points layer
Discount points
Typically, it's an amount usually paid at closing to the lender in conjunction with a mortgage loan in order to lower or "buy down" the interest rate. One discount point equals one percentage point of the loan amount. For example, two points on a $100,000 mortgage would cost $2,000. Negative points reflect the amount that will be credited to you and reduce the amount of closing costs you will pay. Also called mortgage points or points. End of layer. |
Monthly paymentFootnote *Conforming and Jumbo monthly payment includes principal and interest only. Any other fees such as tax and insurance are not included and will result in a higher actual monthly payment. | |

Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM)
A mortgage or home equity loan in which your interest rate and monthly payments may change periodically during the life of the loan, based on the fluctuation of an index. Lenders may charge a lower interest rate for the initial period of the loan. Most ARMs have a rate cap that limits the amount the interest rate can change, both in an adjustment period, and over the life of the loan. Also called a variable-rate mortgage. End of layer. |
