SmartAsset, a financial technology company, recently released its third annual study on the “Best Places to Get a Mortgage.”

The study determined the top markets to secure a home loan in the state by analyzing data on mortgage approval rates, in addition to mortgage interest rates, average five-year borrowing costs and property taxes.

The company based the overall borrowing costs by examining the expected costs over the first five years of a $200,000 mortgage with a 20% down payment, including closing costs.
