30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates Continue to Drop; Current Rate is 3.59%, According to Zillow Mortgage Rate Ticker

The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow® Mortgages is currently 3.59 percent, down nine basis points from this time last week. The 30-year fixed mortgage fell throughout the week, reaching 3.56 percent on Monday before rising to the current rate.

“Mortgage rates fell last week to their lowest levels since last April on the heels of falling oil prices and continued global turmoil surrounding growth worries in China,” said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. “With little U.S. economic data on the docket this week, more ‘flight-to-quality’ should dominate headlines until markets find a bottom.”

Zillow’s real-time mortgage rates are based on thousands of custom mortgage quotes submitted daily to anonymous borrowers on the Zillow Mortgages site and reflect the most recent changes in the market. These are not marketing rates, or a weekly survey.

The rate for a 15-year fixed home loan is currently 2.79 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 2.66 percent.
