The average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped 21 basis points to 6.074% APR, and the average rate on a 5-year adjustable-rate mortgage fell 11 basis points to 6.16% APR, according to rates provided to NerdWallet by Zillow. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 53 basis points lower than one week ago and 366 basis points higher than one year ago. A basis point is one one-hundredth of one percent. Rates are expressed as an annual percentage rate, or APR.

Last week we received data showing that inflation is tapering down, so as much as we’ve wanted the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes to calm down, we’re finally seeing it doing what the Fed has been set out to do. Along with that news, mortgage rates have gone down the most we’ve seen in a long time! If you haven’t checked in with your lender, now may be the time to do it!
