Current mortgage rates are climbing, with the 30-year fixed rate reaching **6.53%** in the latest Freddie Mac survey. Here is what homebuyers and investors need to know.

Current Rates (Week Ending May 28, 2026)

30-Year Fixed: 6.53% (up +0.02% from last week, up +0.23% from a month ago)

15-Year Fixed: 5.87% (up +0.02% from last week, up +0.23% from a month ago)

Key Takeaways
  • 30-year rates hit their highest level since August 2025
  • 30-year rates up 23 basis points over the past month
  • Persistent inflation and geopolitical tensions driving increases
Payment Impact

On a $400,000 loan, the rate increase from 6.00% to 6.53% adds approximately $135 per month to principal and interest payments. This reduces buying power by roughly $22,000-$27,000 for buyers keeping the same payment budget.
