US mortgage rates rise to 6.55%, highest since August 2025

According to a statement from Freddie Mac on Thursday, the average interest rate for 30-year fixed rate mortgages is 6.55%, higher than 6.49% a week ago and reaching the highest level since late August. The mortgage interest rate rose for the second week in a row. With the yield of US treasury bond bonds rising, the breakdown of the temporary peace agreement between the United States and Iran pushed the yield of US bonds up.
