Current ARM mortgage rates report for April 30, 2025

As of April 30, 2025, the article on Fortune.com discusses the current state of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), highlighting that the average rate for a 5/1 ARM is approximately 3.5%, while the 7/1 ARM stands at around 3.75%. These rates reflect a slight increase from the previous month, attributed to economic recovery and inflation expectations. The article explains that ARMs start with a fixed rate for an initial period (5 or 7 years in these examples), after which the rate adjusts annually based on a benchmark index plus a margin. It also notes that while ARMs can offer lower initial rates compared to fixed-rate mortgages, they carry the risk of higher payments if interest rates rise after the initial fixed period. The piece advises potential homebuyers to consider their financial stability and future interest rate forecasts before opting for an ARM.
