At a range between 3.50% and 3.75%, rates have remained stuck so far in 2026 after the central bank issued <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/federal-reserve-fomc-meeting-today-rate-cut-decision-jerome-powell\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">three consecutive cuts<\/a><\/span> in the final four months of 2025.

Still, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/why-you-should-check-mortgage-interest-rates-daily\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">mortgage rates change each day<\/a><\/span>, and they can and will adjust before the Fed meets again in April, depending on what economic data is released before that point. So borrowers who want to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/benefits-mortgage-interest-rate-lock-march-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">lock in a low mortgage rate<\/a><\/span> may want to consider their options now, before any adverse conditions result in an increase.

That&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll break down below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.money.com\/pr\/jf9059fd46b8?s1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Ftodays-mortgage-interest-rates-march-19-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow, sponsored, noopener\">See how low your current mortgage rate offers are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are today&#8217;s mortgage interest rates?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The average mortgage interest rate on a 30-year mortgage is 6.12% as of March 19, 2026, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zillow.com\/homeloans\/mortgage-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zillow<\/a> data. The average mortgage interest rate on a 15-year mortgage is currently 5.62%. With these rates having accounted for this week&#8217;s Fed rate pause, however, borrowers can feel reasonably confident that these are some of the better options available right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That said, these are just averages cited from one source, meaning that borrowers may be able to find better rates by <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-much-can-you-save-by-shopping-for-a-mortgage\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">shopping around<\/a><\/span>.

The median refi rate on a 15-year term, meanwhile, is 5.82%. While these are far from the record low mortgage refi rates borrowers were offered in March 2020, they&#8217;re improved from what was available in March 2025, too.

The median refinance rate on a 30-year mortgage, meanwhile, is now 6.77% while it&#8217;s 5.82% for a 15-year option. And these are all listed online post-Fed meeting this week, meaning that a pause there has largely already been accounted for. So, if these rates fit your budget now or come close to it, it may be valuable to directly speak with a lender who can outline your next best steps.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/angelica-leicht\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Angelica  Leicht<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/todays-mortgage-interest-rates-march-19-2026\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homebuyers and owners looking to refinance need to understand where mortgage interest rates stand now before taking any action.
