Mortgage companies have no deposits to rate, so compare their loan programs, median loan and borrower reviews instead. Compare at least three lenders and ask each for a written loan estimate before you choose.
Market share is the lender's share of all home loans closed in Buffalo, New York. Approval share is approvals divided by completed applications. Grade is the MonitorBankRates Health and Safety Grade, available for banks and credit unions only. Average loan is the lender's mean loan amount here.

Daily average mortgage rates for New York compared with the national average, updated every evening.
Looking for mortgage lenders near me or mortgage brokers near me in Buffalo? The list below shows the banks, credit unions and mortgage brokers that closed home loans in Buffalo in 2025, with lenders based there listed first.
Use these to narrow the list above. Each category shows how many Buffalo, NY lenders fit and what that kind of lender is usually best for.
Independent mortgage companies closed 56.8 percent of home loans in Buffalo, New York in 2025, banks 38.5 percent and credit unions 4.6 percent. Hunt Mortgage Corporation was the largest mortgage company, M&T Bank the largest bank and Kenmore N.Y. Teachers Federal Credit Union the largest credit union. Among lenders headquartered in New York, M&T Bank led with 224 loans.
A high approval share with a small median loan usually points to a lender comfortable with first time and FHA borrowers. A large median loan with conventional and jumbo programs points to a move up and jumbo specialist. The health grade says whether a bank or credit union is financially sound; it says nothing about service, which is what the reviews below are for.
Attorneys customarily handle closings in New York. State mortgage recording tax of 0.5 percent plus a 0.25 percent special additional tax (paid by the lender on one to six family homes) and 0.25 percent more in the MCTD counties; in New York City the combined rate is 2.05 percent under $500,000 and 2.175 percent at or above, of which the borrower effectively pays 1.8 or 1.925 percent. State transfer tax is $2 per $500 plus a 1 percent mansion tax on homes of $1 million or more; NYC adds its own 1 to 1.425 percent RPTT. A CEMA (consolidation, extension and modification agreement) assigns the old mortgage to the new lender so recording tax is paid only on new money, and is standard practice for refinances and many purchases.
By home loans closed in 2025, M&T Bank was the largest mortgage lender in Buffalo, New York with 224 loans, about 12.2 percent of the market. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.
Among lenders with meaningful volume in Buffalo, New York, Premium Mortgage Corporation approved the highest share of completed applications in 2025 at 96.1 percent, against a 81.8 percent average for all lenders. Approval share reflects the applicants a lender attracts as much as its underwriting, so compare it alongside loan programs and median loan size. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.
38 lenders closed FHA loans in Buffalo, New York in 2025, led by United Wholesale Mortgage with 60. 26 lenders closed VA loans, led by Rocket Mortgage. Use the FHA and VA filters above the table to see only those lenders; FHA loans allow 3.5 percent down and lower credit scores, VA loans need no down payment for eligible veterans. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.
Yes. 45 banks and 27 credit unions closed home loans in Buffalo, New York in 2025, alongside 45 independent mortgage companies and brokers. Banks and credit unions carry a MonitorBankRates health grade. Mortgage companies are not deposit institutions, so they have no health grade; their HMDA figures and borrower reviews stand in. Source: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for 2025, published by the FFIEC and CFPB.
Lenders are ranked only by the number of home loans they closed in Buffalo, New York during 2025 as reported under the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. No lender pays to be listed or to rank higher, and reviews do not change the order. Counts cover first and second lien loans on one to four unit homes for purchase, refinance and home improvement; home equity lines are counted separately.
