30-Year Mortgage Rate Climbs to 6.46% — Highest Since January
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.46% as of April 2, 2026, up from the prior week’s 6.38% — though still an improvement from a year ago when it averaged 6.64%, according to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Mortgage rates are likely to remain in the mid- to high-6% range for the foreseeable future, with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East raising fears of rising oil and consumer prices pushing rates back up just as the spring homebuying season gets underway.
