[![Sora_Mortgage_Interest_Rates_Rise_White_Colonial](https://info.buyersbrokersonly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sora_Mortgage_Interest_Rates_Rise_White_Colonial.png?width=450&height=300&name=Sora_Mortgage_Interest_Rates_Rise_White_Colonial.png)](https://info.buyersbrokersonly.com/12-massachusetts-mortgage-mistakes)The average interest rate on a 30‑year, fixed‑rate mortgage stood at **6.24 percent**, up a bit from 6.22 percent the week before. Last year during the same week, the 30-year note averaged 6.78 percent. After falling 21 basis points over two weeks in early September to 6.35 percent, 30-year mortgage rates have averaged below 6.40 percent. The 15‑year, fixed‑rate mortgage, popular with homeowners refinancing, averaged **5.49 percent**, down from 5.50 percent the previous week and 5.99 percent a year ago. Meanwhile, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported that for the week ending November 7, 2025, the seasonally adjusted Purchase Index of mortgage applications rose **6 percent** from the previous week. On an unadjusted basis, the index gained 3 percent and is **31 percent** above the same week a year ago. The MBA reported that the average contract interest rate for a 30‑year, fixed-rate mortgage with a conforming loan balance increased slightly to **6.34 percent** from 6.31 percent the week prior. The MBA and Freddie Mac use somewhat different methods to calculate average interest rates. [Well-qualified borrowers](https://info.buyersbrokersonly.com/guide-to-the-home-buying-process-massachusetts) in Massachusetts often obtain mortgage interest rates below the national average, in part because of the high level of lender competition. [Related: [7 Ways Home Buyers Negatively Impact the Home Loan Process](https://info.buyersbrokersonly.com/blog/7-ways-homebuyers-negatively-impact-the-home-loan-process)] The MBA's data show that, despite a slight uptick in rates, homebuyer demand is rising, particularly in areas where more homes are available and price growth has moderated. **Pro Tip:** Mortgage interest rates can change daily, and rates sometimes change intraday.
