Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.81%.

"The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage remained below the 7% threshold for the 17th consecutive week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Stable mortgage rates coupled with moderately rising inventory are attracting homebuyers into the market, with purchase application activity up 18% from last year.”
