Mortgage Rates Are on the Climb for the First Time Since March

This week we are experiencing an increase in Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed mortgage. This is the first increase we have seen since March.

According to Zillow Mortgage Marketplace, the current quote for borrowers comes in at 3.39 percent – a .14 percent increase from last week, while the Illinois Mortgage Rate has seen an even greater increase, coming in at 3.41% – a .17% increase from last week.

In the coming week, Zillow Mortgage Marketplace director Erin Lantz anticipates rates “to remain fairly stable with limited news or economic data slated for release.”

The 15-year fixed mortgage rate was just above 2.5 percent, and for 5/1 ARMs, the rate was about 2 and three-eights.
