Today's lowest mortgage rates? Rates for 10- and 15-year terms at 5.625% | June 7, 2023

Check out the mortgage rates for June 7, 2023, which are mixed from yesterday.

Based on data compiled by Credible, mortgage rates for home purchases have fallen for two key terms and held steady for another two since yesterday.

Rates last updated on June 7, 2023. These rates are based on the assumptions shown here. Actual rates may vary. Credible, a personal finance marketplace, has 5,000 Trustpilot reviews with an average star rating of 4.7 (out of a possible 5.0).

What this means: Mortgage rates have held steady for 15- and 20-year terms, staying at 5.625% and 6.25%, respectively. Meanwhile, rates for 10-year terms have plummeted by a half of a percentage point to 5.625%. Additionally, rates for 30-year terms have edged down to 6.5%. Borrowers interested in saving the most on interest should consider either a 10- or 15-year term, as both are today’s lowest rate at 5.625%. Homebuyers who would rather have a smaller monthly payment should instead consider 20-year terms, as their rates are a quarter of a percentage point lower than those of 30-year terms.

What this means: Mortgage refinance rates have held steady for 15- and 30-year terms, remaining at 5.625% and 6.625%, respectively. Meanwhile, mortgage rates have risen by a quarter of a percentage point for 20-year terms, hitting 6.375%. Additionally, rates for 10-year terms have dropped by over a quarter of a percentage point to 5.625%. Homeowners looking to refinance into a smaller monthly payment should consider 20-year terms over 30-year terms, as their rates are a quarter of a percentage point lower. Borrowers who would rather maximize their interest savings should instead consider either 10- or 15-year terms, as they have today’s lowest rate at 5.625%.

Today’s mortgage interest rates are well below the highest annual average rate recorded by Freddie Mac — 16.63% in 1981. A year before the COVID-19 pandemic upended economies across the world, the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage for 2019 was 3.94%. The average rate for 2021 was 2.96%, the lowest annual average in 30 years.

The historic drop in interest rates means homeowners who have mortgages from 2019 and older could potentially realize significant interest savings by refinancing with one of today’s lower interest rates. When considering a mortgage or refinance, it’s important to take into account closing costs such as appraisal, application, origination and attorney’s fees. These factors, in addition to the interest rate and loan amount, all contribute to the cost of a mortgage. 

Changing economic conditions, central bank policy decisions, investor sentiment and other factors influence the movement of mortgage rates. Credible average mortgage rates and mortgage refinance rates reported in this article are calculated based on information provided by partner lenders who pay compensation to Credible.

The rates assume a borrower has a 700 credit score and is borrowing a conventional loan for a single-family home that will be their primary residence. The rates also assume no (or very low) discount points and a down payment of 20%.

Credible mortgage rates reported here will only give you an idea of current average rates. The rate you actually receive can vary based on a number of factors.

Many factors affect what mortgage interest rate you can qualify for, and some of them are within your control. Improving these factors could help you qualify for a lower interest rate.
