Mortgage Rates Keep Hovering but Down Slightly This Week

By Kerry Smith

The 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.96% this week, down marginally from last week’s 2.99% as it remains in under-3% territory.


MCLEAN, Va. – The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 2.96% this week, according to Freddie Mac’s weekly survey. It’s a slight drop from last week when the FRM came close to the 3% mark, averaging 2.99%.


“The economy is recovering remarkably fast, and as pandemic restrictions continue to lift, economic growth will remain strong over the coming months,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist.


“Despite the stronger economy, the housing market is experiencing a slowdown in purchase application activity due to modestly higher mortgage rates,” Khater adds. “However, it has yet to translate into a weaker home price trajectory because the shortage of inventory continues to cause pricing to remain elevated.”


For the week of June 10, 2021:


The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.96% with an average 0.7 point, down from last week’s average 2.99%. A year ago, it averaged 3.21%.


The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.23% with an average 0.6 point, down from last week’s 2.27%. A year ago, it averaged 2.62%.


A 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.55% with an average 0.2 point, down from last week’s 2.64%. A year ago, it averaged 3.10%.
