30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates Fall Below 4% After Reaching an 8-Month High Last Week; Current Rate is 3.93%, According to Zillow Mortgage Rate Ticker


SEATTLE, June 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 30-year fixed mortgage rate on Zillow® Mortgages is currently 3.93 percent, down two points from this time last week. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 4.03 percent on Friday and remained there through the weekend, then dropped to 3.88 percent on Monday before returning to the current rate.

"After moving higher on Friday, rates fell as markets absorbed the shock of Greece's decision to close its banks leading up to a referendum on its debt negotiations," said Erin Lantz, vice president of mortgages at Zillow. "Greece will likely dominate financial headlines again this week, but Thursday's early jobs report could move markets if lenders don't clock out early for the Fourth of July holiday."

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 3.04 percent, while the rate for a 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is 2.88 percent.
