ZG•Average 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 6.41%, up 3 basis points from Monday, while 15-year fixed rates rose seven basis points to 5.81% and 5/1 ARMs jumped 34 basis points to 6.66%. Refinance rates rose as the 30-year refinance rate reached 6.38%, potentially weighing on Zillow's mortgage marketplace revenue.
1. Mortgage Rates Climb
The national average 30-year fixed rate reached 6.41% on June 9, up three basis points from the previous day. Shorter-term products also saw notable increases, with the 15-year fixed rate rising seven basis points to 5.81% and the 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage jumping 34 basis points to 6.66%.
2. Refinancing Costs Increase
Refinance rates followed the upward trend, as the 30-year refinance rate hit 6.38% and the 5/1 ARM refinance rate climbed to 6.38%. These higher borrowing costs may deter homeowners from refinancing existing mortgages, reducing transaction volume.
3. Impact on Zillow's Marketplace
Rising mortgage and refinance rates could slow loan origination and refinancing requests within Zillow's lender marketplace, potentially pressuring lead generation fees and dampening overall revenue growth for the period.
