The best residential mortgage rates this week 1.5.20

Despite the current economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, the mortgage charts have remained highly competitive. While we have only focused on the lowest rates available in the fixed rate charts this week, borrowers should be aware that the lowest rate may not be the best deal for their personal circumstances. Instead, borrowers should consider a range of factors such as product fees and incentives, along with the rate when choosing the best mortgage deal.
