The 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 7.28% as of October 1, 2026, up from 7.03% on September 24, according to FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.[^1]

That is a 0.25-percentage-point climb in seven days - the only move the current record carries.

The prior reading of 7.03% was itself the baseline the week opened on. Whether this week's jump holds or reverses is what the next FRED reading will settle.
