The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow® Mortgages is currently 3.80 percent, up five basis points from this time last week. The 30-year fixed mortgage hovered around 3.75 percent for most of the week before rising to the current rate.  

“Mortgage rates were mostly flat last week despite some daily fluctuation,” said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. “This week all eyes will be on the Fed, which is expected to lift short-term interest rates for the first time in nine years on Wednesday. The effect on longer term mortgage rates, could be more muted as markets look for signals about the path of rate hikes in the months ahead.”

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 2.97 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 2.93 percent.
