What This Means for Buyers

At today’s 30-year average, principal & interest on a $100,000 loan balance is about $667 per month — about $17 per month higher than the same balance at 0.25% lower. A modest rate improvement can help some buyers revisit payment scenarios, but actual pricing still varies by borrower and loan structure.

What This Means for Realtors

Where rates sit relative to recent weeks and the past year is useful context for pricing expectations and timing conversations — a specific rate always depends on the borrower’s full profile, and none of the figures here are a quote or a lock recommendation.

Sources & Methodology

Rates shown are national market averages from the cited surveys (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED for conventional 30-year and 15-year fixed; MBA Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for FHA and jumbo 30-year) for educational and comparison purposes only. They are not a loan offer or commitment to lend. Actual rates vary based on borrower, loan, property, and market characteristics. Missing periods reflect publication schedules — values are never interpolated or estimated.
