What to know about getting a mortgage in Michigan

Michigan’s taxable-value cap means long-held homes carry far lower tax bills than identical homes that just sold — budget from the post-sale “uncapped” assessment, not the seller’s current bill, or your escrow will jump in year two. Prices remain below national medians, and credit unions hold a large share of the state’s mortgage market.

The 2026 conforming loan limit in most Michigan 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.

Frequently asked: mortgages in Michigan

Straight answers, grounded in the data on this page.

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

The lowest conventional 30-year rate we're tracking in Michigan 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 Michigan?+

The median home price in Michigan is about $240,000, so 20% down is roughly $48,000. 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 Michigan residents join for a mortgage?+

Michigan residents can currently get posted mortgage rates from Navy Federal Credit Union, PenFed Credit Union, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 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 Michigan have?+

Michigan's housing finance agency is the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). The MI Home Loan pairs a 30-year fixed mortgage with up to $10,000 in down-payment assistance. 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 Michigan?+

For most Michigan 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 Michigan?+

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 Michigan residents, and credit-union rates are copied straight from each lender's public rate sheet.
