Mortgage Interest Rates Inch Up For The Week Ending July 21, 2022

Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey^® (PMMS^®) for the week ending July 21, 2022. The survey showed the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 5.54 percent for the week.

“The housing market remains sluggish as mortgage rates inch up for a second consecutive week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Consumer concerns about rising rates, inflation and a potential recession are manifesting in softening demand. As a result of these factors, we expect house price appreciation to moderate noticeably.”
