highest and lowest regional reading is itself the story — here is where each one sits today.

Methodology
How this index is built
This index is compiled entirely from mortgage interest rates that lenders advertise publicly on their own websites. Each business day we collect those publicly-posted rates across the states in each region, group them by loan type, and publish the simple average. These are real, published numbers — not estimates, not invented, not privately sourced. Individual lenders are not named. Each figure is a snapshot as of the date shown.
