U.S. Mortgage Rates Decrease in Late March, Third Consecutive Week

Residential News » Washington D.C. Edition | By David Barley | April 5, 2023 8:39 AM ET


Based on Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.32 percent in late March 2023.

"Economic uncertainty continues to bring mortgage rates down," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. "Over the last several weeks, declining rates have brought borrowers back to the market but, as the spring homebuying season gets underway, low inventory remains a key challenge for prospective buyers."
