30-year mortgage rate hits 7.57 percent

Lance Lambert reports that the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate today is 7.57%, marking five consecutive days above the 7.50% level. The previous record for sustained elevated rates in this cycle was 33 days during fall 2023.

For comparison, he notes the rate on the same day last year was 6.36%. The 10-year Treasury yield stands at 5.29% today, and the spread between mortgage rates and Treasuries is currently 228 basis points.

Lambert previously reported that the U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rate reached 7.17 percent, up from 6.35 percent a year earlier, when the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.96 percent. He also noted the 7.17 percent level marked a new 52-week high in a separate update on rising Treasury yields. These earlier milestones provide context for today’s elevated rate and spread.
