30-Year Mortgage Rate Eases to 6.48% in Freddie Mac's Weekly Survey
via Freddie Mac
Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey puts the average 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.48%, down from 6.53% the prior week. The 15-year fixed rate also slipped, landing at 5.79% — and both rates remain below where they stood a year ago.
Why it matters
Lower mortgage rates expand what buyers can afford and reduce monthly payments for anyone weighing a refinance, so this week's dip is worth checking against current loan offers.
