Mortgage Rates in U.S. Slightly Dip in Mid-June

Residential News » Washington D.C. Edition | By Monsef Rachid | June 16, 2023 8:28 AM ET


Based on Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.69 percent as of June 15, 2023.

"Mortgage rates decreased slightly this week in anticipation of the pause in rate hikes by the Federal Reserve," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. "As inflation continues to decelerate, economic growth is slowing and the tightening cycle of monetary policy is reaching its apex, which means mortgage rates are expected to decrease later this year and into next."
