Weekly mortgage rates stayed largely flat, breaking a six-week streak of increases. Rates remain stubbornly elevated compared to where they were at the beginning of 2026. On a day-to-day basis, the average 30-year rate has been flirting with 6.5% APR. If it does reach that threshold, it will be for the first time since September 2025.
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped one basis point to 6.37% APR in the week ending April 3, according to rates provided to NerdWallet by Zillow. A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.
