# Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS)

U.S. weekly mortgage rate averages as of 04/30/2026

## 30-year Fixed-Rate Mortgage
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged **6.30%** this week, up from last week when it averaged 6.23%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.76%.

## 15-year Fixed-Rate Mortgage
The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged **5.64%**, up from last week when it averaged 5.58%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.92%.

> "As rates had modestly declined the last few weeks, purchase demand has accelerated with purchase applications rising to over 20 percent above a year ago. It is clear that purchase demand continues to hold up as prospective buyers react to both modestly lower rates and more inventory to choose from than the last few years."

## Methodology
The PMMS results are based on the mortgage rate collected from thousands of loan applications submitted to Freddie Mac through Loan Product Advisor (LPA) from lenders across the country when a borrower applies for a mortgage.

PMMS is published each Thursday at noon ET. The week of application activity starts at 12:00 a.m. ET the prior Thursday and lasts through 11:59 p.m. ET Wednesday. Therefore, the PMMS results are an average of loan rates offered Thursday through Wednesday.
