Looking for the best mortgage rates in Salt Lake City? Axent Funding is a local Utah broker that shops multiple lenders for your purchase or refinance, from Sugar House and The Avenues to Capitol Hill, 9th and 9th, and the east-bench homes in Yalecrest. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a condo buyer downtown, or moving up on the bench, we compare conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo options in one place.

As of early 2026, Salt Lake City's typical home value was about $572,000 (Zillow, up roughly 1.4 percent year over year), with Redfin median sale prices closer to $585,000. At these levels, the rate you lock, your loan size, and mortgage-insurance choices move your payment more than almost anything else.

Salt Lake City Mortgage Rate Picture

In mid-2026, Utah 30-year fixed quotes for strong files were generally in the low-to-mid 6 percent range, with 15-year fixed loans roughly 0.5 to 0.75 percent lower. Most Salt Lake City purchases stay within the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750, so the main decision is rate versus fees; higher-priced bench homes may price in jumbo tiers, and Axent Funding can show the current conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo stack the same day.

Salt Lake City Mortgage FAQs

What are today's mortgage rates in Salt Lake City?

Mortgage rates change daily with the market. The current 30-year fixed, 15-year fixed, FHA, and VA rates are shown at the top of this page and updated every business day. For a same-day quote built around your credit, down payment, and price range, call Axent Funding at 801-576-9336.

Why use a mortgage broker instead of a bank in Salt Lake City?

A bank can only offer its own loans. As a broker, Axent Funding shops multiple lenders for your Salt Lake City loan, which usually means more program choices and better pricing on conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo mortgages. Our fees also run about 25% lower than many competitors, with no processing or junk fees.

How much home can I afford in Salt Lake City?

It depends on your income, debts, down payment, and the rate you qualify for. Use our affordability and monthly-payment calculators to estimate a range, then call 801-576-9336 and we will firm it up with a free pre-approval, often in 24 hours.

What credit score do I need to buy a home in Salt Lake City?

Many buyers qualify with scores in the low-to-mid 600s, and FHA loans can go lower with the right file. Higher scores generally earn lower rates, so we review your credit and shop lenders to match you with the best available pricing.

What is the 2026 conforming loan limit in Salt Lake County?

For 2026, Salt Lake County uses the national baseline conforming loan limit of $832,750 for a one-unit home; only Summit and Wasatch counties are high-cost in Utah. Loans above that amount are jumbo and priced separately. FHA limits are lower; the 2026 FHA limit for Salt Lake County is $637,100. Call 801-576-9336 for the exact current figure for your scenario.

Do you finance condos and investment properties in Salt Lake City?

Yes. Salt Lake City has a large condo and rental market, and we finance warrantable condos and non-owner-occupied investment properties in addition to primary homes. Because we shop multiple lenders, we can match condo and investor files to the lender most comfortable with them. Call 801-576-9336 to talk through your scenario.
