Mortgage Rates Averages Up

by Rodney Ward

Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.95%.

“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage continues to fluctuate as markets assess economic data,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist.

  • The 30-year FRM averaged 6.95% as of September 17, 2026, up from last week when it averaged 6.76%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.26%.
  • The 15-year FRM averaged 6.26%, up from last week when it averaged 6.09%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.41%.

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