US 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.28% as of Apr. 6, down from 6.32% a week ago; 30-year FRM averaged 4.72% a year ago: Freddie Mac

MCLEAN, Virginia , April 6, 2023 (press release) –

Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.28 percent.

“Mortgage rates continue to trend down entering the traditional spring homebuying season,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Unfortunately, those in the market to buy are facing a number of challenges, not the least of which is the low inventory of homes for sale, especially for aspiring first-time homebuyers.”
