A Tick Down In Mortgage Rates.

by Rodney Ward

Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.37%.

“Mortgage rates ticked down this week, averaging 6.37%,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “The decrease in rates represents a positive development for prospective homebuyers and could spark a more favorable spring homebuying season than last year.”

  • The 30-year FRM averaged 6.37% as of April 9, 2026, down from last week when it averaged 6.46%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.62%.
  • The 15-year FRM averaged 5.74%, down from last week when it averaged 5.77%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.82%.

The PMMS® is focused on conventional, conforming, fully amortizing home purchase loans for borrowers who put 20% down and have excellent credit.
