Mortgage Rates Today (Dec. 17, 2025): 30-Year Fixed Hovers Near 6% After the Fed Cut—What It Means for Refinancing and a $700,000 Mortgage

Instead, rates have stayed in a tight band in the low-6% range, and in some surveys they’ve even ticked higher week-over-week. Federal Reserve+1 Below is a December 17,

U.S. Mortgage Rates Today (Dec. 12, 2025): 30-Year Fixed Hovers Near 6.2% After the Fed Cut — Forecasts for 2026

December 12, 2025 — Mortgage rates in the U.S. are ending the week in a familiar place: the low-6% range.

Freddie Mac’s weekly benchmark shows the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.22% for the week ending December 11, 2025 (up slightly from 6.19% the prior week), while the 15-year fixed averaged 5.54%. Freddie Mac also notes the 30-year rate remains below its year-to-date average of 6.62%, a key reason some economists
