USA: 30-Year Mortgage Rate Ticks Higher.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed-mortgage inched higher by 2bps to 6.49% on the week to June 25th, 2026, according to data compiled by Freddie Mac. The result was in line with some elevated yields for longer maturity Treasury bonds at the start of the week, when the hawkish projections by FOMC members drove the market to position for rate hikes by the Fed this year. “The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was little changed this week at 6.49%” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Rates have remained relatively stable over the last six weeks. Meanwhile, purchase activity eased modestly and refinance activity has continued to pick up recently, reflecting borrowers’ responsiveness to current rate levels.”
