Mortgage Rates Continue to Rise

FMCC

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.79 percent.

“Mortgage rates continued to inch up this week, reaching 6.79 percent,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “It is clear purchase demand is very sensitive to mortgage rates in the current market environment. As soon as rates began to rise in early October, purchase applications fell and over the last month have declined 10 percent.”
