Compare mortgage rates in your area now.
30-year mortgage rates
The average rate you’ll pay for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 2.93 percent, up 8 basis points since the same time last week. Last month on the 12th, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was lower, at 2.85 percent.
At the current average rate, you’ll pay $417.84 per month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow. That’s $4.28 higher compared with last week.
You can use Bankrate’s mortgage rate calculator to figure out your monthly payments and see the effect of adding extra payments. It will also help you calculate how much interest you’ll pay over the life of the loan.
15-year fixed mortgages
The average 15-year fixed-mortgage rate is 2.38 percent, up 8 basis points over the last seven days.
Monthly payments on a 15-year fixed mortgage at that rate will cost around $661 per $100,000 borrowed. That’s obviously much higher than the monthly payment would be on a 30-year mortgage at that rate, but it comes with some big advantages: You’ll come out several thousand dollars ahead over the life of the loan in total interest paid and build equity much more rapidly.
5/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage Rates
The average rate on a 5/1 adjustable rate mortgageis 2.93 percent, sliding 3 basis points over the last week.
These types of loans are best for those who expect to sell or refinance before the first or second adjustment. Rates could be materially higher when the loan first adjusts, and thereafter.
Monthly payments on a 5/1 ARM at 2.93 percent would cost about $418 for each $100,000 borrowed over the initial five years, but could ratchet higher by hundreds of dollars afterward, depending on the loan’s terms.
Jumbo mortgage interest rates
The average rate for the benchmark jumbo mortgage is 2.98 percent, an increase of 9 basis points over the last seven days. Last month on the 12th, the average rate for jumbo mortgages was lesser, at 2.87 percent.
At today’s average jumbo rate, you’ll pay a combined $420.53 per month in principal and interest for every $100,000 you borrow. That’s $4.84 higher compared with last week.

Where to get the best rates
Mortgage rates can differ widely based on overarching market forces, the size of the loan, your location, your financial situation and how eager mortgage lenders are to get your business. Keep in mind that the rates we post are market averages–some people will be quoted higher or lower or that exact rate, and the rate may change daily even at the same lender.
It’s important when you’re looking for a mortgage to shop around and compare all the terms of your offers, not just the interest rate you’re being quoted. Your best rate and terms may be from an online lender, the bank down the street or perhaps through a mortgage broker. You won’t know unless you shop multiple lenders through multiple channels.
Bankrate is a great place to start, because you can take advantage of our mortgage rate comparison tool and stay up to date on current rates. If you’re not happy with the results there, you should check with the institution where you do your banking, and other small lenders like credit unions or local banks.
