flag Mortgage rates dip slightly in Nov. 2025 but remain high due to inflation and policy.

flag As of November 17, 2025, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 6.30%, down slightly from recent highs but still well above pandemic-era lows, according to Zillow and Optimal Blue data. flag Federal Reserve rate cuts in September and October 2025 have eased rates modestly, yet inflation concerns and economic policies continue to keep borrowing costs elevated. flag Adjustable-rate mortgages remain high, with 7/6 ARMs ranging from 5.625% to 6.125%. flag Refinancing may benefit borrowers who can secure a rate at least one percentage point lower, especially those switching from ARMs to fixed rates or accessing equity. flag However, closing costs, credit scores, and debt-to-income ratios remain key hurdles. flag Prospective borrowers are advised to compare offers and assess long-term affordability, particularly with ARMs, which carry risks after their initial fixed period ends.
