About Boston Mortgage Rates
The rates shown above reflect the lowest available wholesale pricing for a Boston, Massachusetts homebuyer at the time of the snapshot. Rate Direct pulls pricing from hundreds of lenders serving Massachusetts and refreshes hourly, so the numbers stay close to what a licensed mortgage broker could actually source for a Boston property.
Your specific Boston rate depends on credit score, loan amount, property type (single-family vs multi-unit vs condo), loan-to-value, and loan purpose. A 780 FICO buyer at 80% LTV will price materially better than a 680 FICO buyer at 95% LTV. To see your exact rate across the full Massachusetts lender network, use the Rate Direct pricer.
Boston buyers also have access to FHA, VA, and USDA programs with lower down payments and more flexible credit guidelines. For down payment assistance specific to Massachusetts, see the Massachusetts DPA guide.
