Mortgage Rates Today, March 28, 2026: 30-Year Fixed Ends Week at Six-Month Highs as Yields Rise

Mortgage Rates Today, March 28, 2026: 30-Year Fixed Ends Week at Six-Month Highs as Yields Rise

Mortgage rates in the U.S. squeezed higher by week’s end—Freddie Mac put its benchmark 30-year fixed at 6.38% while Mortgage News Daily’s read was a steeper 6.64% on Friday. The two surveys differ in method, but this week, both tracked another bump in borrowing costs. The timing stings: just as the spring selling season kicked into gear, higher rates have pushed up monthly payments for buyers and made refinancing less attractive. Mortgage rates typically move with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, the key government benchmark for long-term borrowing. Lately, that yield’s been climbing, fueled by inflation worries tied to oil.

Fundrise VCX Stock Soars 1,300% Above NAV After Delayed NYSE Debut

Fundrise VCX Stock Soars 1,300% Above NAV After Delayed NYSE Debut

Shares in the Fundrise Innovation Fund changed hands at prices over 1,300% higher than net asset value Tuesday, marking just the fourth trading session since its NYSE debut. The venture fund, with investments in Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX, saw trading repeatedly halted for volatility as prices ricocheted from $215.76 to $320. That’s after closing Monday at $191.81. According to Bloomberg, demand from investors eager to tap into the fund’s private-company holdings played a key role. The episode highlights how a closed-end fund—where trading prices often disconnect from underlying asset value—can see its market price surge well above the portfolio when buyers outnumber sellers.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Loan Holds Near 2026 Highs as Homebuilder Stocks Rebound

Mortgage rates in the U.S. dipped just slightly on Monday.

Freddie Mac’s latest weekly survey, as of March 19, still reported the benchmark 30-year fixed at 6.22%. Borrowing costs remain a headwind for affordability right as the spring selling season picks up. U.S. construction spending slid 0.3% in January. Outlays for new single-family projects dipped 0.2%. Sales of new homes tumbled 17.6%, dropping to a 587,000 annualized rate—the lowest seen since October 2022.

Opendoor Technologies Stock Price Drops as Mortgage Rates Hit 3-Month High, Home Sales Slide

Opendoor Technologies Stock Price Drops as Mortgage Rates Hit 3-Month High, Home Sales Slide

Opendoor Technologies finished Thursday’s session off 2.6%, settling at $5.14. The online home-selling firm's market cap now stands near $5.9 billion. Trading volume hit 27.8 million shares. This is significant: Opendoor doesn’t just host listings—it puts up its own cash to purchase houses from sellers, then flips them. That leaves the company uniquely vulnerable to mortgage rates and the pace of buyer demand.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year Fixed Slips to 6.29% Ahead of Fed, but Spring Buyers Still Face Pressure

U.S. borrowers with strong credit saw a slight dip in mortgage rates Tuesday. The average 30-year fixed rate for top-tier applicants slipped to 6.29%, according to Mortgage News Daily, compared with 6.36% on Monday. The drop comes as bond markets calmed ahead of the Fed’s decision due Wednesday. The modest uptick is coming just as the spring homebuying season picks up. According to the National Association of Realtors, contracts to buy previously owned homes climbed 1.8% in February, helped by a dip in mortgage rates. That rebound, though, is now facing pushback from rising oil prices, stronger Treasury yields, and renewed inflation concerns.

February saw a 1.7% uptick in existing-home sales. Freddie Mac’s latest weekly read pegged the 30-year average at 6.11% on March 12.

Mortgage Rates Today: 30-Year U.S. Mortgage Rate Jumps as Treasury Yields Rise

Mortgage rates in the U.S. took another leg up on Friday—Mortgage News Daily’s 30-year fixed-rate index hit 6.41%, up from 6.09% just on Tuesday. That’s the highest reading since Sept. 4, 2025, and, according to the publication, it’s also the steepest three-day rise since early April 2025. This spike comes right as the spring homebuying season was just waking up. Freddie Mac’s weekly average had dipped to 5.98% by Feb. 26—the first time below 6% in three and a half years—and February existing-home sales edged up 1.7%, reaching a 4.09 million-unit annual pace. Still, supply stayed tight at 1.29 million homes. Mortgage rates typically shadow the 10-year Treasury yield, the U.S. benchmark for borrowing that directly influences home-loan costs.

Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) Stock Price Rebounds After Selloff as Mortgage Rates Rise Again

Opendoor Technologies shares added roughly 2.4%, changing hands at $4.96 late Friday morning. The move retraced a portion of the losses from the prior session. The rebound is especially significant for Opendoor, given how sensitive the company is to shifts in financing costs right as the spring homebuying rush begins. Freddie Mac reported that the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage edged up to 6.11% this week, from 6.00%. Still, chief economist Sam Khater noted that buyers have been “responding to rates in this range,” and there was also an uptick in purchase applications.

U.S. Mortgage Rates Rise Above 6% Again, Threatening Spring Homebuying Revival

U.S. Mortgage Rates Rise Above 6% Again, Threatening Spring Homebuying Revival

Mortgage rates in the U.S. climbed back over 6% this week, snapping a short-lived drop below that threshold and logging their sharpest weekly jump in nearly a year. Rising oil prices and surging bond yields—spurred by the conflict with Iran—sent the average 30-year fixed rate up to 6.11%, compared with 6.00% just a week ago, according to Freddie Mac on Thursday. This shift landed right when cheaper borrowing was starting to lure buyers off the sidelines for spring. Existing-home sales climbed 1.7% in February, reaching a 4.09 million annual rate. First-time buyers accounted for 34% of deals. Mortgage applications ticked up 3.2% for the week ending March 6—purchase applications jumped 7.8%.

Rocket Companies, Inc. (RKT) Stock Falls Again as Mortgage Rates Climb Back Above 6%

Rocket Companies dropped roughly 3.7% Thursday, pressured by mortgage rates climbing past 6% and a strong wave of selling across Wall Street. Shares closed at $14.58, notching a third straight day in the red. That’s crucial for Rocket: lower rates typically unlock stronger spring demand, covering both homebuying and refis. Freddie Mac reported the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 6.11% from last week’s 6.00%. Still, Chief Economist Sam Khater noted, “buyers are responding to rates in this range,” highlighting a 1.7% jump in February existing-home sales and steadier purchase applications.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Trades Above Industry Averages as Investors Weigh Valuation and Growth Bets
    June 30, 2026, 11:55 PM EDT. Tesla is trading at $420.60, up 91.3% over five years, but some numbers point to a stretched valuation. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 16.1x, well above the industry's 0.6x and peers at 1.4x. A separate fair value model comes in at 3.5x. Simply Wall St gives Tesla zero on its valuation checks, saying the stock doesn't stack up by earnings, assets, or cash flow. Bulls keep faith in Tesla's AI, robotics, and energy plans, supporting the high price, but there are worries about Full Self Driving and regulatory issues. The big question is whether Tesla's share price already bakes in its ambitious AI and energy goals or if investors have more to price in.
