Monthly mortgage payment at today’s rates

The national median family income for 2025 is $104,200, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the median price of an existing home sold in May 2025 was $422,800, according to the National Association of Realtors. Based on a 20 percent down payment and a 6.78 percent mortgage rate, the monthly payment of $2,201 amounts to 25 percent of the typical family’s monthly income.

“Affordability is still a challenge,” says Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS, a listing service in the Mid-Atlantic region. “Some buyers are waiting both for rates and prices to come down before they get into the market.”

What will happen to mortgage rates in 2025?

Last month, the Federal Reserve decided to leave the federal funds rate untouched. Mortgage rates didn’t respond to the Fed’s three consecutive cuts last year — a reminder that fixed mortgage rates are not set directly by the Fed but by investor appetite, particularly for 10-year Treasury bonds. When there’s uncertainty in the market, investors buy Treasury bonds, which in turn drives yields — and, often, mortgage rates — downward.

President Donald Trump’s tariff policies spurred a spasm of market swings that included 10-year Treasury yields briefly dropping below 4 percent. As of Wednesday afternoon, they stood at 4.3 percent.

“A Fed on hold aligns with our forecast for little change in mortgage rates for the time being,” says Mike Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Another factor is inflation, which remains persistently higher than the Fed’s target of 2 percent. The Labor Department reported that inflation had edged up to 2.4 percent in May, an uptick from April, but still tame enough to relieve some of the pressure on mortgage rates.

Even with the volatility in markets, housing economists say mortgage rates are likely to move gradually rather than dramatically. “With inflation easing and uncertainty around tariffs and Fed policy continuing to weigh on markets, investors have shifted toward safer assets like Treasurys,” says Samir Dedhia, CEO of One Real Mortgage. “As yields drop, mortgage-backed securities have found firmer footing, allowing mortgage rates to come down across the board.”

  • Methodology

    The Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders is conducted weekly. To conduct the National Average survey, Bankrate obtains rate information from the 10 largest banks and thrifts in 10 large U.S. markets. In the Bankrate.com national survey, our Market Analysis team gathers rates and/or yields on banking deposits, loans and mortgages. We’ve conducted this survey in the same manner for more than 30 years, and because it’s consistently done the way it is, it gives an accurate national apples-to-apples comparison. Our rates differ from other national surveys, in particular Freddie Mac’s weekly published rates. Each week Freddie Mac surveys lenders on the rates and points based on first-lien prime conventional conforming home purchase mortgages with a loan-to-value of 80 percent. “Lenders surveyed each week are a mix of lender types — thrifts, credit unions, commercial banks and mortgage lending companies — is roughly proportional to the level of mortgage business that each type commands nationwide,” according to Freddie Mac.
