  • See Wednesday's report on average mortgage rates on different types of home loans so you can pick the best mortgage for your needs as you house shop.

On May 14, 2025, mortgage rates have seen a slight decrease, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.5% and the 15-year fixed-rate at 5.875%.
