A lower rate bought down with points isn't always the cheapest loan. Your real cost depends on your loan size, credit, and how long you keep the mortgage — run your own numbers.

What to know about getting a mortgage in Arizona

Arizona’s low property-tax rate keeps carrying costs modest, but Phoenix-area prices have outpaced wages for years, pushing more buyers toward down-payment assistance and temporary buydowns. Rate competition is strong — the Phoenix metro is one of the most heavily bank-and-CU-served markets in the West.

The 2026 conforming loan limit in most Arizona counties is $832,750 for a single-family home (designated high-cost counties go higher). Loans above that are jumbo — expect tighter underwriting and different pricing.

First-time buyer help in Arizona
Arizona Department of Housing → The HOME+PLUS program combines a 30-year fixed mortgage with a down-payment assistance grant of up to 5% of the loan amount. Program rates come through participating lenders — compare them against the credit-union rates above before committing.

Frequently asked: mortgages in Arizona

Straight answers, grounded in the data on this page.

What is the best mortgage rate in Arizona right now?+

The lowest conventional 30-year rate we're tracking in Arizona this week that anyone can join is 7.000% from PenFed Credit Union, 0.40% below the U.S. average of 7.400%. It's a real posted rate, not a teaser — your actual rate depends on your credit, down payment, and loan type. Credit unions with restricted membership (military or employer-based) sometimes post lower; those are listed below with their eligibility.

How much do you need to put down for a house in Arizona?+

The median home price in Arizona is about $425,000, so 20% down is roughly $85,000. Many buyers put down far less: conventional loans go as low as 3%, FHA 3.5%, and VA/USDA can be 0% for those who qualify (with mortgage insurance when you put down under 20%).

Which credit unions can Arizona residents join for a mortgage?+

Arizona residents can currently get posted mortgage rates from MOUNTAIN AMERICA Credit Union, Navy Federal Credit Union, PenFed Credit Union, and others. Many credit unions let anyone join through a small one-time association membership — each one's eligibility and exact join steps are on its page.

What first-time homebuyer programs does Arizona have?+

Arizona's housing finance agency is the Arizona Department of Housing. The HOME+PLUS program combines a 30-year fixed mortgage with a down-payment assistance grant of up to 5% of the loan amount. These programs work through participating lenders, so you can (and should) still compare the program rate against the credit-union rates on this page.

What is the conforming loan limit in Arizona?+

For most Arizona counties the 2026 conforming loan limit is $832,750 for a single-family home (designated high-cost counties go higher). Loans above the limit are jumbo, which typically means tighter underwriting and different pricing.

Does RatePerch take referral fees from lenders in Arizona?+

No. We don't take affiliate or referral fees, sell contributor data, or rank lenders by commission. Borrower-quoted rates are submitted anonymously by real Arizona residents, and credit-union rates are copied straight from each lender's public rate sheet.
