30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates Rise on Strong Jobs Report; Current Rate is 3.30%, According to Zillow Mortgage Rate Ticker

The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow® Mortgages is currently 3.30 percent, up five basis points from this time last week. The 30-year fixed mortgage declined early last week, then rose Friday and hovered around the current rate for the rest of the week.

“Mortgage rates jumped by almost 10 basis points after last Friday’s strong jobs report and are now approaching three-week highs,” said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. “This week should be quieter with only a few relatively minor economic data releases on the horizon.”

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 2.58 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 2.67 percent.
