Chart of the Day: Outstanding Mortgages by Interest Rates

Today’s Chart of the Day from ResiClub gives a clear snapshot of the interest rates attached to currrent outstanding mortgages.
 
It’s no surprise that the largest portions of the chart are made up of mortgages with rates between 3%–4% and those below 3%, reflecting the historic lows seen during the 2020–2021 COVID-era housing boom.
 
That period created a prime opportunity for homeowners to refinance and for buyers to lock in exceptionally low rates, but the window was short-lived. Rates surged in subsequent years and have since settled just above 6% today.
 
Assuming a 20% down payment, someone who purchased a $400,000 home at a 3% interest rate is paying substantially less each month than a buyer purchasing the same home at today’s rates, which would be roughly $600 more per month in interest alone.
