A slow week for economic news led to relative flatness in mortgage rates to kick off April. Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey revealed the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) came up to 4.41 percent (0.7 point) for the week ending April 3—a minor increase from 4.40 percent last week.

The FHFA reported mortgage rates for occupied homes was 4.30 percent for loans closed in late February, a decline of 0.07 percent. The interest rate survey also showed the average rate on a conventional, 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 4.45 percent, a drop of 22 basis points from January.
