For a second week, most Hawaii lenders quoted less than 6.5 percent for a 30-year, fixed-rate home mortgage, the Honolulu Board of Realtors reported Friday.
First Hawaiian Bank, Bank of Hawaii, American Savings Bank, Central Pacific HomeLoans, Finance Factors, Territorial Savings and Wells Fargo all quoted 6.375 percent. With a spectrum of point and fee differences, their actual annual percentage rates spread across a range of more than 8/100 of a percent.
Hawaii National Bank quoted a higher rate, 6.5 percent, while Countrywide Home Loans quoted a lower one, 6.25 percent.
For 15-year notes, Territorial quoted 5.75 percent, Bankoh and American Savings Bank quoted 5.875 percent, and the other major local lenders quoted 6 percent. This generally represented a lower rate than last week.
