SEATTLE, Feb. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow® Mortgage Marketplace is currently 3.44 percent, up two basis points from 3.42 percent at this same time last week. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate hovered between 3.43 and 3.48 percent for the majority of the week, dropping to the current rate this morning.
"Despite an unexpected increase in the unemployment rate, rates ended the week essentially unchanged," said Erin Lantz, director of Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. "This coming week, we expect rates to remain fairly flat with limited economic news that might change the consensus that the economy is recovering, but at a slow and cautious pace."
Zillow's real-time mortgage rates are based on thousands of custom mortgage quotes submitted daily to anonymous borrowers on the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace 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 2.7 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 2.35 percent.
