Mortgage rates rose this week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday.
Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Thursday, showed the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage climbed to 6.69% from last week's reading of 6.66%.
The average rate on a 30-year loan was 6.63% a year ago.
"While mortgage rates continue to influence affordability, the housing market is showing signs of adjustment, with listing prices modestly below year-ago levels and for-sale inventory improving from the limited supply seen in recent years," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist.
The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 6.01% from last week's reading of 6.04%.
