Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) for the week ending 09/15/2022, showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.02 percent.
“Mortgage rates continued to rise alongside hotter-than-expected inflation numbers this week, exceeding six percent for the first time since late 2008,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Although the increase in rates will continue to dampen demand and put downward pressure on home prices, inventory remains inadequate. This indicates that while home price declines will likely continue, they should not be large.”
