Weekly Mortgage Market Trends

Current 15-year Fixed Rate Mortgages
from HSH's editorial survey -- updated daily!

Here's a small random sample of loan rates drawn from the survey of objective information we collect every day. Our database contains current data on thousands of loans from lenders coast to coast -- including jumbo loans.

Unlike other 'surveys,' and other Web sites, these mortgage rates are not advertisements. HSH contacts over 2,000 lenders across the country every week -- the same objective survey we've conducted for over 25 years. Our data is so reliable that it's used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, the media, and other clients.

These are representative of loans which may be offered in your area, but we don't claim that these are the "best" available. There are many factors which make the "best" loan dependent upon your individual circumstance.

For much more information for your area, purchase one of our current in-depth surveys. Available via email (or hardcopy format), our surveys include dozens of lenders and loans -- including jumbos. hybrid ARMs, NYC co-ops, and more.

For even more choices, be sure to visit the Lender Showcase -- it's where lenders coast to coast advertise their best mortgage programs. Credit a little shaky? Visit the Bad Credit lender directory. Whichever you need, you'll find lenders advertising their best and most competitive mortgage rates and other loan programs.
