According to FRED’s economic data, the average mortgage rates in the United States are 4.45% for a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM), 5.30% for a 30-year FRM and 4.19% for a 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM).

Locking in a good interest rate is critical when refinancing your mortgage. That said, a “good” rate will depend on several factors, including loan term, loan amount, credit score and debt-to-income ratio.
You can get the best deal by shopping around and comparing quotes from different lenders. Once you find a desirable rate, make sure to act fast as mortgage rates change nearly every day.
