Mortgage interest rates fell slightly following the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to raise its benchmark short-term interest rate by a quarter percentage point this month, its 10th interest rate hike since March 2022. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.39% the week ending 5/4/23, up from 5.27% a year ago. Many economists expect mortgage interest rates will continue to soften over the year due to cooling inflation.

Mortgage Rates Inch Down
May 11, 2023
This week’s decrease continues a recent sideways trend in mortgage rates, which is a welcome departure from the record increases of last year. While inflation remains elevated, its rate of growth has moderated and is expected to decelerate over the remainder of 2023. This should bode well for the trajectory of mortgage rates over the long-term.

Mortgage Rates Tick Down
May 4, 2023
This week, mortgage rates inched down slightly amid recent volatility in the banking sector and commentary from the Federal Reserve on its policy outlook. Spring is typically the busiest season for the residential housing market and, despite rates hovering in the mid-six percent range, this year is no different. Interested homebuyers are acclimating to the current rate environment, but the lack of inventory remains a primary obstacle to affordability.
