Another Decline in Weekly Average

Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey^® (PMMS^®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.23%.

“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage declined again this week to 6.23%,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Rates currently stand at their lowest level in the last three spring homebuying seasons. This improvement, coupled with a pickup in purchase applications and refinance activity, as well as an increase in monthly pending home sales, underscores signs of improving momentum in the market.”

• The 30-year FRM averaged 6.23% as of April 23, 2026, down from last week when it averaged 6.30%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.81%.
• The 15-year FRM averaged 5.58%, down from last week when it averaged 5.65%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.94%.

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