30-Year Mortgage Rate Stays at 6.66%, Near One-Year High

Freddie Mac's weekly survey pegged the 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.66% for August 27, 2026, with the 15-year at 5.98%. Reuters, AP, and Forbes Advisor confirmed readings in the high-6% range through July and August. A Reuters poll expects the 30-year to remain above 6% through 2028 — a horizon that shapes borrowing costs for years.
