While average mortgage rates have generally declined over the past few weeks, the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage rose from last week’s 2.78% to 2.80%.
MCLEAN, Va. – Average mortgage rates rose a little bit this week, according to Freddie Mac’s weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The most popular 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.80%.
“As the economy works to get back to its pre-pandemic self, and the fight against COVID-19 variants unfolds, owners and buyers continue to benefit from some of the lowest mortgage rates of all-time,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Largely due to the current environment, the 30-year fixed-rate remains below 3% for the fifth consecutive week, while the 15-year fixed-rate hits another record low.”
