Frequently asked questions

What is the Freddie Mac weekly average rate?

Freddie Mac publishes the Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), a weekly national average of rates on 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate home purchase loans. It is a widely cited benchmark, but it is an average for a typical borrower profile, not a rate anyone is guaranteed.

Why is my rate different from this average?

Your rate depends on your credit score, down payment, loan type, property, points paid and the lender. FHA, VA and jumbo loans are priced differently from the conventional loans in this average. Compare Loan Estimates from several lenders for the same day.

How often does this page update?

The survey is published weekly, normally on Thursdays. This page is rebuilt from Freddie Mac's data when new readings are available, and always shows the date of the latest reading.

How much does a quarter point change the payment?

On a $320,000 30-year loan at 7.28%, principal and interest is $2,189 a month. A rate 0.25 points higher adds about $55 a month.
