What to know about getting a mortgage in Connecticut
Connecticut carries one of the five highest effective property-tax rates in the country — on a median-priced home that adds roughly $600/month before the mortgage itself. Because the tax bill dwarfs small rate differences, total-monthly-payment math matters more here than headline rate.
The 2026 conforming loan limit in most Connecticut 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.
The borrower-quoted offers above were submitted by real Connecticut residents in the last 30 days. We score every submission for fraud signals before publishing, and verified offers carry a verified badge after we OCR the Loan Estimate.
The credit-union rates are taken from each lender's public rate sheet on the effective date shown. We don't take affiliate fees, sell contributor data, or rank lenders by commission. The full methodology is on the methodology page.

Frequently asked: mortgages in Connecticut
Straight answers, grounded in the data on this page.
What is the best mortgage rate in Connecticut right now?+
The lowest conventional 30-year rate we're tracking in Connecticut this week is 6.125% from PenFed Credit Union, 0.42% below the U.S. average of 6.550%. It's a real posted rate, not a teaser — your actual rate depends on your credit, down payment, and loan type.
How much do you need to put down for a house in Connecticut?+
The median home price in Connecticut is about $415,000, so 20% down is roughly $83,000. 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 Connecticut residents join for a mortgage?+
Connecticut residents can currently get posted mortgage rates from Navy Federal Credit Union, PenFed Credit Union, COASTAL1 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 Connecticut have?+
Connecticut's housing finance agency is the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA). CHFA offers below-market first-time-buyer mortgage rates plus a Time To Own forgivable down-payment assistance loan. 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 Connecticut?+
For most Connecticut 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 Connecticut?+
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 Connecticut residents, and credit-union rates are copied straight from each lender's public rate sheet.
