An average, not an offer. [How we source and check every figure](https://theloanweek.com/sources/). ## What changes at this amount - This $1,050,000 loan is above the $832,750 baseline conforming limit: it is conforming only in high-cost counties (limits up to $1,249,125) and a jumbo loan elsewhere, where lenders price it separately from the weekly average. - Itemizers can deduct interest on up to $750,000 of home acquisition debt, so about 28% of the first year's $36,429 in interest ($10,179) would not be deductible (IRS Publication 936 method). - No weekly 30-year average in the past year was as low as 3.5%: the lowest was 5.98% in the week of February 26, 2026.
