The average fixed rate on a 30-year mortgage fell slightly for the second consecutive week on the heels of high-profile bank failures that resulted in a more moderate rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Mortgage rates are highly volatile ahead of the busy spring homebuying season.
Mortgage interest rates are twice as high as they were at the beginning of 2022, which continues to have a tangible impact on mortgage affordability and consumer housing sentiment. Mortgage rates are still widely expected to fall throughout the course of 2023 but have stayed stubbornly high in the first quarter of the year.

U.S. News selects the Best Loan Companies by evaluating affordability, borrower eligibility criteria and customer service. Those with the highest overall scores are considered the best lenders.
To calculate each score, we use data about the lender and its loan offerings, giving greater weight to factors that matter most to borrowers. For mortgage lenders, we take into account each company’s customer service ratings, interest rates, loan product availability, minimum down payment, minimum FICO score and online features.
The weight each scoring factor receives is based on a nationwide survey on what borrowers look for in a lender.
To receive a rating, lenders must offer qualifying loans nationwide and have a good reputation within the industry. Read more about our methodology.
