What this means: Mortgage refinance rates have held steady for 20- and 30-year terms. Rates for 10-year terms have also remained unchanged, though 10-year terms are today’s lowest rate at 5.625%. Meanwhile, rates for 15-year terms have edged up to 5.750%. Homeowners looking to refinance into a smaller monthly payment should consider either 20- or 30-year terms. Borrowers who would rather maximize their interest savings should instead consider 10-year terms.

Today’s mortgage interest rates are well below the highest annual average rate recorded by Freddie Mac — 16.63% in 1981. A year before the COVID-19 pandemic upended economies across the world, the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage for 2019 was 3.94%. The average rate for 2021 was 2.96%, the lowest annual average in 30 years.

The historic drop in interest rates means homeowners who have mortgages from 2019 and older could potentially realize significant interest savings by refinancing with one of today’s lower interest rates. When considering a mortgage or refinance, it’s important to take into account closing costs such as appraisal, application, origination and attorney’s fees. These factors, in addition to the interest rate and loan amount, all contribute to the cost of a mortgage. 

Changing economic conditions, central bank policy decisions, investor sentiment and other factors influence the movement of mortgage rates.
