According to Zillow’s Mortgage Rate Ticker, the 30-Year fixed-rate mortgage increased five basis points from around this time last week, averaging 4.08% nationally. The vice president of mortgages at Zillow, Erin Lantz said,”Mortgage rates were subdued last week as ongoing geopolitical concerns and economic softness in Europe encouraged investors to buy U.S. mortgage-backed securities as a safe-haven. This week, we expect international headlines, rather than U.S. economic data, to drive any meaningful changes to mortgage rates.” Additionally, the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.12% nationally, according to Zillow.
