Assuming a 3.5% down payment and excluding tax and insurance, the typical payment at today’s 6.44% mortgage rate on a median-priced $425,000 home is roughly $2,576 per month. Last week, a median-priced home at a 6.32% mortgage rate would have cost homebuyers $2,544 per month—$32 less than what buyers would pay today.

These are today's mortgage and refinance rates. Mortgage rates are up this month, but they're still down over a full percentage point from last year.
