Mortgage rates inch upward again in late September
Original: Mortgage rates today, Sept. 28, 2026: Rates still inching upward
Mortgage rates continued a slow climb as of September 28, 2026, according to Fortune's daily rate tracker. The steady upward movement matters for homebuyers weighing whether to lock in a loan now or wait for relief, and for homeowners considering refinancing. Rate-watch coverage remains a staple for consumers tracking affordability as borrowing costs keep drifting higher.
Why now: Homebuyers and homeowners are closely tracking the persistent upward drift in borrowing costs and what it means for affordability.
