Weekly Market Report

May 15, 2023 by Ruth Whitney Bowe

For Week Ending May 6, 2023

Mortgage interest rates fell slightly following the Federal Reserve’s recent decision to raise its benchmark short-term interest rate by a quarter percentage point this month, its 10th interest rate hike since March 2022. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.39% the week ending 5/4/23, up from 5.27% a year ago. Many economists expect mortgage interest rates will continue to soften over the year due to cooling inflation.

  • New Listings decreased 18.2% to 1,533
