Mortgage Rates Hold Steady

MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.66%.

“Mortgage rates changed little this week averaging 6.66%,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. “The economy remains resilient, demonstrated by steady consumer spending and rising household incomes. More homes coming on the market and slower price growth in many areas are giving buyers better options and helping create a more balanced housing market.”
