Rates decrease as home sales slightly up - Current mortgage and refinance rates, June 26, 2025

National mortgage rates fell across all terms from a week ago, according to Bankrate data. Rates for 30-year fixed, 15-year fixed, 5/1 ARMs and jumbo loans all fell.

Mortgage rates move as the economy and other factors shift, including the Federal Reserve's response to economic data on inflation and employment. At the Fed's latest meeting on June 18, policymakers opted to keep the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged.

“While inflation has cooled and is closer to the Fed's 2 percent target, overwhelming sentiment is that we are still in calm before the storm and the full impacts of tariffs are still to be felt,” said Dr. Selma Hepp, chief economist for Cotality, in a statement. "Similarly, the uncertain job market is keeping the Fed on the sidelines. In addition to the Fed's two mandates competing against each other, the Fed's job is complicated by remaining in the crosshairs of political pressures while trying to ensure it unequivocally maintains its much-needed independence."

The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage for today is 6.81 percent, down 6 basis points from a week ago. This time a month ago, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was higher, at 6.94 percent.

At the current average rate, you'll pay a combined $652.59 per month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow. That represents a decline of $4.00 over what it would have been last week.

The average rate for the benchmark 15-year fixed mortgage is 6.02 percent, down 4 basis points over the last week.

Monthly payments on a 15-year fixed mortgage at that rate will cost $845 per $100,000 borrowed.

The average rate on a 5/1 ARM is 6.02 percent, falling 6 basis points over the last 7 days.

Monthly payments on a 5/1 ARM at 6.02 percent would cost about $601 for each $100,000 borrowed over the initial five years.

The average rate for a jumbo mortgage is 6.80 percent, a decrease of 4 basis points from a week ago. A month ago, jumbo mortgages' average rate was above that at 6.98 percent.

At today's average jumbo rate, you'll pay $651.93 per month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow. That's down $2.66 from what it would have been last week.

The average 30-year fixed-refinance rate is 6.84 percent, down 7 basis points over the last week. A month ago, the average rate on a 30-year fixed refinance was lower at 6.78 percent.

At the current average rate, you'll pay $654.59 per month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow. That's a decline of $4.68 from last week.

It’s hard to say. The Federal Reserve’s projections in June still indicated two rate cuts this year, which could have a ripple effect on mortgage rates.

“My bets are on December,” Hepp said in a panel talk at the National Association of Real Estate Editors conference this week, adding that the Fed could start signaling a cut as early as September, but inflation will keep policymakers holding rates higher for longer.

Today’s mortgage rates aren’t far off from 7.2 percent, more or less the average of the past 40 years, according to Bankrate data. In fact, 30-year fixed rates ran mostly lower than that average in 2024, and appear to stay on a similar path for now. See how mortgage rates and mortgage payments have changed since the 1970s.

Whether you refinance your mortgage hinges on a few things: your rate today, how rates might move in the future and your long-term plans. We recently ran down four scenarios in which refinancing might make sense for you today, even as rates are elevated. If you got your mortgage recently and your credit score has improved, for instance, you might still be able to get a lower rate.

You also don't necessarily need a significantly lower rate to see savings. It's important to understand what rate you qualify for and do the math for your unique situation.
