The 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage didn’t change but the rest were mixed: The 15-year loan moved a bit higher to 2.59%, while the adjustable-rate loan fell to 3.08%.

MCLEAN, Va. – Mortgage rates changed little this week. According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.13% – the same as last week’s average.

“After the Great Recession, it took more than 10 years for purchase demand to rebound to pre-recession levels – but in this crisis, it took less than ten weeks,” says Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sam Khater.

Khater things a “rebound in purchase demand partly reflects deferred sales” that were postponed during the height of the pandemic. However, he also sees “continued interest from prospective buyers looking to take advantage of the low mortgage rate environment.”
