Here’s proof: Over the last two decades, the fed funds rate and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate have differed by more than 5%, and by as little as 0.50%.

   Do fixed-rate mortgages mirror the federal funds rate?

   • Fixed-rate mortgages — the most popular type of home loan — don’t mirror the federal funds rate, however; they track the 10-year Treasury yield (more on that below).
