“Mortgage rates held steady last week on limited economic news or market moving events,” said Erin Lantz, director of Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. “Looking ahead, although today will be a busy day in terms of both European and U.S. economic data releases, we don’t expect this data will change investor sentiment. So, for the coming week, we expect rates to remain in the sideways pattern they’ve been holding for most of the summer.”
Additionally, the 15-year fixed mortgage rate this morning was 2.76 percent, and for 5/1 ARMs, the rate was 2.4 percent.
