Mortgage Rate History

This dataset reflects the research standard behind BANKIRR. Rather than relying on a single headline mortgage rate, BANKIRR tracks multiple loan segments across conforming, government, and jumbo products. The result is a more disciplined view of the mortgage market, one that acknowledges that pricing moves through different channels at different times and that serious mortgage research requires comparing those channels side by side.
