🏡 Mortgage Rate Update | Friday, October 30, 2026
Good news for homebuyers heading into Halloween weekend!
Mortgage rates have improved for the second consecutive week. Freddie Mac reported the national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 7.24%, but there's an important difference between national averages and the rates available through wholesale mortgage lenders.
As a mortgage broker, our rates are based on wholesale pricing, without the retail lender markup.
Take a look at today's purchase rates:
🏠 30-Year Conventional Fixed: 6.625% | 6.752% APR
🏠 15-Year Conventional Fixed: 6.125% | 6.331% APR
🏠 30-Year FHA Fixed: 6.490% | 7.418% APR
🏠 30-Year VA Fixed: 6.625% | 6.836% APR
We also offer competitive jumbo and adjustable-rate mortgage options, as shown in the chart.
Why does this matter?
Even a modest difference in your mortgage rate can make a meaningful difference in your monthly payment and the total interest paid over the life of your loan.
Whether you're purchasing your first home, moving up, or considering a jumbo mortgage, comparing wholesale financing options can help you make a more informed decision.
I'm available throughout the weekend if you have questions about today's rates, your purchasing power, or financing a home you're considering.
Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween weekend!
