MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 7.04 percent.

"Mortgage rates ticked up for the fifth consecutive week and crossed seven percent for the first time since May of 2024,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. "The underlying strength of the economy is contributing to this increase in rates. Despite rising rates, Freddie Mac research highlights that consumers can save money if they shop for several different lender quotes.”
