Summary

  • The average top-tier 30-year fixed mortgage rate was essentially unchanged from last Thursday, with the Mortgage News Daily index edging down just 0.01%.
  • Three-day holiday weekend volatility failed to materialize, leaving mortgage pricing calm after a more consequential run of economic events last week.
  • This week’s calendar now offers little fresh pressure on rates, with no major economic data due after Monday.
  • At just over 6.6%, 30-year fixed rates sit near the middle of a 6-7 week range that still marks their highest levels in about 10 months.
