Originally Published 11 days ago — by Yahoo Finance
Mortgage rates have slightly decreased in 2025, reaching their lowest point for the year at 6.15% for 30-year fixed mortgages, but are unlikely to drop below 6% in the near future. The Federal Reserve's rate cuts in 2025 have influenced mortgage trends, but rates tend to follow the 10-year Treasury yield more closely.
