SEATTLE, March 21, 2017 -- The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow® Mortgages is currently 3.99 percent, down 11 percentage points from this time last week. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped Wednesday, then slid lower to the current rate over the rest of the week.
“Mortgage rates fell 10 basis points on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve increased short term interest rates, following signals of a slower-than-expected pace of interest rate hikes in the months ahead,” said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. “With one regional Fed president voting against the hike, there is also more uncertainty about how confident the Fed is in the U.S. economy. This week rates are likely to be steady though Thursday when several speeches by FOMC voters should add some clarity to the economic outlook.”
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 3.17 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 3.01 percent.
