What to know about getting a mortgage in Texas

Texas pairs a high property-tax rate with expensive insurance (hail statewide, wind on the coast), so a “cheap” $305K house can carry $700+/month in escrow before principal and interest. Texas also has unique home-equity lending rules (the 80% “A6” cap) that affect cash-out refinancing later — something to know before you buy, not after.

The 2026 conforming loan limit in most Texas 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 Texas

Straight answers, grounded in the data on this page.

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

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

The median home price in Texas is about $305,000, so 20% down is roughly $61,000. 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 Texas residents join for a mortgage?+

Texas residents can currently get posted mortgage rates from Navy Federal Credit Union, PenFed Credit Union, Connexus 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 Texas have?+

Texas's housing finance agency is the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. My First Texas Home offers below-market rates with down-payment assistance 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 Texas?+

For most Texas 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 Texas?+

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