flag U.S. 30-year mortgage rates dropped to 6.27% in October 2025, their lowest since early 2024, but remain high due to housing shortages and expensive homes.

flag U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rates fell to 6.27% in mid-October 2025, the lowest since early October 2024, driven by the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut in over a year and declining Treasury yields. flag The 15-year fixed rate dropped to 5.52%. flag Despite the decline, rates remain well above the 6.44% average from a year ago and are still too high for most buyers to afford homes without significant income. flag Experts say rates are likely to stay near 6% through late 2025, with a possible dip to the mid-5% range by mid-2026, but affordability remains a major barrier due to persistent housing shortages and high home prices.
