Mortgage Rates Reach Highest Point Since July
Freddie Mac’s latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) reports that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) has risen to 6.91% as of January 2, 2025, its highest level in nearly six months. This marks an increase from last week’s 6.85% and significantly higher than the 6.62% rate a year ago.
The 15-year FRM also rose to 6.13%, up from 6.0% last week and 5.89% a year ago. Despite elevated rates and affordability challenges, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist, Sam Khater, noted increased buyer activity, as reflected in rising pending home sales.
Freddie Mac’s PMMS® focuses on conventional loans for creditworthy borrowers and highlights its ongoing mission to support affordability, stability, and equity in the housing market since 1970.
