About
In October 1981, 30-year fixed mortgage rates reached their historical peak at 18.63%, with that year's average 30-year rate standing at 16.64%. This extraordinary surge was driven by the OPEC embargo, which led to record inflation in the United States. To try to control inflation, the Fed raised interest rates to historic levels.
