Freddie Mac: Mortgage Rates Tick Up

Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey^® (PMMS^®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.84 percent.

“Mortgage rates ticked back up this week, continuing to approach 7 percent,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Heading into the holidays, purchase demand remains in the doldrums. While for-sale inventory is increasing modestly, the elevated interest rate environment has caused new construction to soften.”
