Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 7.40%.
“The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage remained unchanged this week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist.

- The 30-year FRM averaged 7.40% as of October 15, 2026, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.27%.
