Average Mortgage Rates Move Lower This Week: 30-Year Rates at 7.23% and 15-Year Rates at 6.49%Average mortgage rates moved lower this week, thanks to lower U.S. Treasury yields. Despite the declines this week mortgage rates are still near 20-year highs and more than double where rates were back in 2020. Average 30-year fixed mortgage rates declined to 7.23%, down from the prior week's average rate of 7.32%. 15-year mortgage rates today are averaging 6.49%, a decline from last week's average rate of 6.87% To give you a perspective of how high mortgage rates are right now, back in December 2020 average 30-year rates were 2.66% and 15-year mortgage rates were at 2.16%, much lower than current mortgage rates. For every $100,000 borrowed at a rate of 2.66 percent the monthly payment is $403. Borrow that same $100,000 at 7.23 percent and the monthly payment jumps to $681, that's a $278 difference for every $100,000 borrowed. Multiply $278 by five times, for a $500,000 loan, and the monthly payment is $1,390 more for a 7.23% rate. Lender
