Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) for the week ending 09/22/2022, showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.29 percent.
“The housing market continues to face headwinds as mortgage rates increase again this week, following the 10-year Treasury yield’s jump to its highest level since 2011,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Impacted by higher rates, house prices are softening, and home sales have decreased. However, the number of homes for sale remains well below normal levels.”
