I want to know how banks set the interest rates for mortgages. All I know is that they move up and down with the fed funds rate and discount rate (Correct me if I am wrong). Does anyone know all factors that play into the rates that lenders come with? Is there a way to calculate or give more or less weight to any one of them? Thank you.

Stephan asked:


The government is shelling out 700 billion dollars to buy the bad loans that are putting the big banks in danger. We are told that the bad loans consist mainly of unpaid mortgages (sub-primes etc). So the government is effectively buying 700 billion dollars of housing. If we estimate the price of one house between 100k$ and 350k$, then the government should be acquiring 2 to 7 million houses. That is, unless we are being misled and that these bad loans were made up of a lot more than just home mortgages…
