FAQ for the anxious
How often does this update?+
Every Thursday, when Freddie Mac releases the Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS). We refetch automatically. You don't need to do anything. Just stare.
Is this financial advice?+
Absolutely not. This is a single-word website with a doge on it. Talk to a real person about real money.
Why is the answer sometimes 'NOPE. SAME.'?+
Because sometimes rates do nothing. The economy is allowed to have a flat week.
Where does the data come from?+
Freddie Mac's PMMS — the same 30-year fixed average your lender is quietly refreshing all day.
