Nassau County Mortgage Update: 30-Year Fixed Rates Average 6.76%
Freddie Mac reported that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.76% for the week of September 10, 2026. In Nassau County, where the median home price hovers around $850,000, that translates to a monthly principal and interest payment of roughly $4,635 with 20% down. Because a quarter-point variance can shift monthly obligations by over $100, we recommend analyzing debt-to-income ratios and securing a lender pre-approval before beginning your search.
