Mortgage rates eased up a bit this week, as markets are no longer panicking at each new development — or social media post — related to the Iran war. The conflict is still exerting a huge influence on rates, though lately the daily ups and downs have mostly canceled each other out. The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell eight basis points to 6.37% APR in the week ending June 5, according to rates provided to NerdWallet by Zillow.

The average interest rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.46% APR, according to rates provided to NerdWallet by Zillow. This is 11 basis points higher than yesterday and four basis points higher than a week ago.

Mortgage rates crept back up today, but don't read too much into it. The day-to-day movement this week hasn't amounted to much actual change. Today's APR is actually equal to the average of the daily rates we've seen over the past four business days. The average interest rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.35% APR, according to rates provided to NerdWallet by Zillow. This is three basis points higher than yesterday and three basis points higher than a week ago.
