Before making any moves, though, it helps to understand exactly where mortgage interest rates stand today, April 6, 2026. Here&#8217;s what the numbers look like.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.money.com\/pr\/jf9059fd46b8?s1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fmortgage-interest-rates-april-6-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"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 6.41% as of April 6, 2026. The average rate on a 15-year mortgage is 6.02%. However, these are just the averages \u2014 borrowers with strong credit profiles, lower debt-to-income ratios and larger down payments may be able to secure offers below these figures.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-much-can-you-save-by-buying-mortgage-points\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"> buying mortgage points<\/a><\/span> upfront can lower your rate over the life of the loan, which may be worth the cost if you plan to stay in the home long-term. If today&#8217;s averages are in the ballpark of what you need to make a purchase work with your budget, it&#8217;s generally still worth reaching out to multiple lenders to see what&#8217;s available to you specifically, as lender offers can vary more than many buyers expect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.money.com\/pr\/jf9059fd46b8?s1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fmortgage-interest-rates-april-6-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored, noopener\">Learn more about your current mortgage rate options today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are today&#8217;s mortgage refinance rates?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The average mortgage refinance rate on a 30-year loan is 6.84% as of April 6, 2026. The average refinancing rate on a 15-year mortgage is 5.84%. For homeowners who locked in a rate at or above 7% during the peak rate environment of 2023 and 2024, those 15-year refinance figures in particular may represent a meaningful opportunity to reduce both their rate and the total interest paid over the life of their loan.<\/p>\n<p>For those who bought earlier in the decade at historically low rates, refinancing at today&#8217;s levels is unlikely to make financial sense. But if you&#8217;re somewhere in between \u2014 let&#8217;s say, carrying a rate in the upper 6% or higher \u2014 it&#8217;s worth running the numbers.
