			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RISMEDIA, February 12, 2010—Thirty-year <a class="zem_slink" title="Fixed rate mortgage" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_rate_mortgage">fixed mortgage</a> rates on <a class="zem_slink" title="Zillow" rel="homepage" href="http://zillow.com">Zillow</a> Mortgage Marketplace are currently 4.81%, down six <a class="zem_slink" title="Basis point" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_point">basis points</a> from 4.87% at this time last week. The 30-year fixed <a class="zem_slink" title="Mortgage" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortgage">mortgage rates</a> hovered at or below 4.80% for most of the past weekend and neared 4.75% on Monday.</p>
<p>Zillow’s real-time mortgage rates are based on thousands of custom mortgage quotes submitted daily to anonymous borrowers through the site, and reflect the most recent changes in the market. These are not marketing rates or a weekly survey.</p>
<p>The rate for 15-year fixed home loans is currently 4.27%, while the rate for 5-1 adjustable rate mortgages is 3.70%.</p>
<p>The volume of mortgage requests in the past week fell 9.4% from the prior week. Of last week’s requests, 34.7% were for <a class="zem_slink" title="Refinancing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refinancing">refinance</a> loans, 63.5% were for purchase loans and 1.9% were for <a class="zem_slink" title="Home equity" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_equity">home equity</a> loans. The prior week, 34.5% of requests were for refinance loans, 63.5% were for purchase loans and 2.1% were for home equity loans.</p>
