Mortgage Rates Current

Jumbo Rate mortgages also declined since Wednesday. Today's mortgage rate on a fixed 30-year jumbo is at 6.13 percent, down from 6.31 percent. As of today, a 15-year jumbo mortgage interest rate is back under 6.00 percent at 5.88 percent.

We anticipate mortgage rates to remain in this current range. If you're thinking of locking in a mortgage rate at today's rates you would be wise to do so. Eventually mortgage loan rates will increase as the year progresses.
