Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) for the week ending August 25, 2022, showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 5.55 percent.
“The combination of higher mortgage rates and the slowdown in economic growth is weighing on the housing market,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Home sales continue to decline, prices are moderating, and consumer confidence is low. But, amid waning demand, there are still potential homebuyers on the sidelines waiting to jump back into the market.”
