Weekly benchmark
Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®
The figure most often quoted in the news. PMMS publishes weekly on Thursdays, so it lags the daily lock-based averages above — useful for trend, less useful for timing.

We watch the daily national averages for you and send a note only when your threshold is crossed — or when the market moves enough to matter.
Source: Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices (OBMMI™), national averages of actual locked note rates, published via the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) and updated each business day. Data as of Thursday, July 30, 2026. Weekly comparison figures come from the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®).
These are national index averages of note rates — not APRs, and not an offer, quote, rate lock, or commitment to lend. Your actual rate depends on credit profile, loan amount, occupancy, property type, loan-to-value, points, and market conditions at the time of lock.
