Today’s mortgage and refinance rates
So far, in 2020, mortgage interest rates have plummeted to record lows nine times, and that number is likely to grow. At publication, Freddie Mac reported these average interest rates:
Current mortgage rates, as of October 1, 2020:
- 30-year fixed-rate mortgage: 2.88% (up 0.02% from the record-low rate of 2.86% set on Sept.10)
- 15-year fixed-rate mortgage: 2.36% (a 0.78% decrease from the year prior)
Will mortgage rates keep going down?
On September 16, the Federal Reserve voted to leave interest rates between 0% to 0.25% until at least 2023.
Further, the Federal Open Market Committee released an updated economic projection sheet that indicates interest rates could remain closer to zero through 2023.
